Supplementary notes
Gallup classifies U.S. workers as underemployed if they are either unemployed or working part time but searching for full-time work. Findings are reported in 30-day moving averages reflecting about 14,000 phone interviews with U.S. adults aged 18 and older in the workforce. Gallup's results are not seasonally adjusted and precede government reports by approximately two weeks.
