Under-employment
Under-employment occurs when people are counted as looking for an additional job or actively searching for a new job with longer hours to replace their current (main) job. They want to work longer hours in their current job. Under-employment can be rising even though unemployment is declining. The ONS measures under-employment as all those workers wanting to work more hours than they currently do and available to start in 2 weeks.
