The higher your attainment, the fewer the jobs. PHDs have normally been the most underemployed.


The question I would have is if someone obtains a PhD that doesn't really matter, are they underemployed when nobody hires them for what society feels is their "worth" even if that worth is purely fiction?

I think "underemployed" is a category for stat hounds. It matters more for economists than the actual worker.

I've rarely used my degree, and could be considered "underemployed" at various times of my life, but I didnt feel that way at all.
