The term used was underemployment.



Please take the time to read through my comment, and you'll see that I address this - 'underemployment' is a misleading term that not only conflates several distinct concepts but also implies a connection with something that it's not.

It's like using the term 'intellectual property' when discussing the Pirate Party vs. MPAA. Aside from the fact that patents and copyrights are completely different legal concepts, the word 'property' already implies a right to ownership[1] that one side asserts doesn't exist to begin with.

[1] '...inalienable rights... Life, Liberty, and Property' - Declaration of Independence (first draft).


Underemployment: how about the difference between U6 and U3? That seems like a reasonable first cut, and this guy seems to possibly fit.
