Underemployment

job is safe from automation; “every job has some component a robot could theoretically handle” (Paquette 2017). Both of the previous statements create a question about how automation will affect the un- and underemployment of the millennial generation. The risk of either un- or underemployment for millennials depends largely on the type of job, as well as each a person’s degrees and other qualifications. By delving into the problem of automation in workplaces, maybe people can find a way to make the

The problem of unemployment could be solved through the welfare system. Nationwide, we need to take a look at both unemployment, as well as underemployment. Underemployment plagues the U.S. and is extremely detrimental towards the overall health and well being of the economy as a whole, and for the economy of the individual. The impact that this has on America is huge because there are people who feed off the system or people that can’t get out of the poverty system. What we want to do is redirect

recent college graduates are experiencing an excessive amount of student debt and underemployment- in fact, it has now reached the largest in our nation’s history at a staggering 1.2 trillion dollars (Source 1). Additionally, as many as 44% of recent college graduates are facing underemployment (Source 2). Underemployment can be defined as working a job that doesn’t require a bachelor’s or college degree. With underemployment and student debt increasing at exponentially high rates, it’s now becoming debated

They found that reconnecting ex-offenders to the world of appropriate employment is essential to maintaining recovery and reducing criminal behavior in the future. Drug treatment can be more effective than cycling people in and out of prison. Underemployment and joblessness

The American In Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, the main character is Willy Loman a lifelong traveling salesman. Willy is in his early sixties and there is no doubt he has had a long life with the occupation he chose for himself some years ago. It seems as if Willy is doing well for himself as well as his family from any outsider, however, what happens behind the scenes is a completely different story. Constantly borrowing from a fellow friend Willy finds himself in a black hole of debt. Arthur

A dictator’s worst nightmare is their own people because the transformation of institutions can threaten a dictator’s grip over a nation, either leading to their brutal crackdown on citizens or the forced removal of their regime. Citizens who are eager for change can be the death knell of an oppressive regime. For Tunisia, former president Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, like many other rulers, eventually faced this threat. In 2011, the culmination of oppression and brutality led to the self-immolation

Who Moved My Cheese? Before reading “Who Moved My Cheese?”, by Spencer Johnson, I scanned through it real quick and it seemed like a fairly simplistic read. I did not originally expect much out of the book with its sort of corny pictures of cheese and story about made up people and situation. Once I began to read it I realized it was a little more complex than a mouse going through a maze to obtain cheese. The beginning starts out with a group of former classmates gathered around discussing their

Underemployment Underemployment, though less often studied, is also a common issue among refugees. Defined as “working fewer hours than a person normally works” and the “underutilization of a person's skills, qualifications, or experience”, underemployment is harder to measure and are often self-reported (Scott 2015). Krahn et al. (2000) conducted a series interviews with over 525 adult refugees settled in Alberta between 1992 and 1997 to determine the prevalence of underemployment among refugee

Foreclosure in America has been a rising and prominent problem recently, and has destroyed many Americans hopes and dreams. Over 2.3 million homes were foreclosed in 2008, and an estimated four million homes will be foreclosed by the end of this year. Despite the efforts of many banks and lending companies, over half of homes will foreclose that have received their help. I believe that we have only started in the right direction in solving the foreclosure crisis. Giving money and lowering mortgage

Individuals benefit from the structure of work such as through social contact, collective purpose, status, and activity (Machin & Creed, 2003). However, unemployed individuals lack those benefits and are more susceptible to a decline in mental health, leading to a deprivation state and distress (Belle & Bullock, 2009). Gregory C. Murphy and James A. Athanasou, professors of the Health Sciences and Educational department in the Latrobe University, Australia report that job loss is correlated to a
