Description

"Underemployment signals that a local surplus of skills is available for a region. Such a pool of surplus skills allows a more productive matching of firms and workers. Both groups benefit from the relationship. Companies fulfill their skill needs, while skilled workers enjoy more fulfilling and higher paying jobs."
