[LIFESTYLE] UNEMPLOYED OR UNDEREMPLOYED ?

Forget Unemployment, there is a new concern that is puzzling the minds of many employers and college students all over.

A study shows hat 33 percent of college students are not unemployed, but in fact underemployed. This means that instead of college students not having a job, they are more than likely employed in jobs that they are overqualified for. Underemployment measures the number of individuals who are employed in a job that is below their qualifications from Bachelor degrees and on.

This does not take away from the fact that graduates do have trouble finding jobs in there respective fields, but it also shows that employers are  having trouble filling the positions they have at these growing companies. This means companies are looking for help.

Scott Dobroski, an employer trends analyst at Glassdoor gives readers an insight as to the employers perspective of this rising problem. He states that this is a job-seekers market, but employers have stated that they have trouble finding “quality candidates who can tackle tomorrow’s business challenges in their respective kind of pool or lane”.  Dobroski also states that the problem may not lie in the lack of qualified people who can fill these positions but the amount of work these companies are requesting in the job description.  In another statement he suggest that “there is still a large disconnect between what academic universities have to offer to prepare students for the real world”.

This is clearly something that has become astonishing for most. Many college students believe that the only problem they face after graduation is not being able to find a job, but apparently we must all make sure that we are getting and maintaining jobs that we are qualified for. Comment down below if this will become a fear of yours.
