1. underemployed

   Underemployed refers to a state where an individual is employed but their skills, abilities, or qualifications are not fully utilized, or they are not working up to their full potential. This could be because they are working fewer hours than they wish, in a job that doesn't utilize their full skillset, or are involuntarily in part-time instead of full-time employment. Underemployment often fails to provide sufficient income, job satisfaction, or career advancement opportunities.
