In one sense, it refers to a situation in which someone with excellent job qualifications （资格）is working in a position that requires less qualifications, as for instance in the case of a lawyer driving a school bus. In the second sense, it means working part-time when one would prefer to be working full-time. In the third sense, it is a form of overstaffing （人 浮于事）in which employees are not being fully made use of.All forms of underemployment have effect on the economy and the health of the business community. Long-term underemployment can also cover up the truth behind the employment situations. When nations collect employment statistics, they usually come up with a base number of “unemployed“ individuals, using that number to judge the health of the job market. This number does not include part-time workers looking for full-time jobs, as they are considere.d employed, and it also doesn' t reflect workers who are underpaid, considering their qualifications.In the f irsrt sense, underemployment is a common problem in many of the developed world. Many people with college degrees are working in low-level or service industry jobs -because the job market is full.The issue of part-time employment is also very serious. Some people are forced into part-time jobs, while others find themselves taking a part-time job because nothing else is available, even though they really need to work full-time. This problem is especially common in areas with seasonal employment, where employers find it cheaper to maintain and lay off part-time staffs, rather than keeping a full staff at all times.In the sense of shortage of workers, underemployment appears in a variety of situations. Some companies maintain a full staff to be prepared for seasonal work, or to keep well-trained, qualified workers so that they will be available when needed. Labor laws and union pressures may also prevent a company from cutting down on staff or working hours, leading to a situation in which people report to work, but have nothing to do.1. The purpose of the passage is.A. to show underemployment is becoming more serious todayto imply women are laid off more than menB. to explain the meaning of “underemployment”to tell the present economic situations2. According to the text, underemployment means.A. the same meaning as the word一unemployedemployees are not fully taken charged ofB. qualified workers get a low salarypeople who do manual work for wages3.

Underemployment only occurs in advanced countries.B. People with college degrees sometimes take a part-time job.C. Part-time staffs seems benefit from firms less.D.
