Final answer:

In U.S. labor statistics, individuals who are involuntarily working part-time are considered underemployed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In U.S. labor statistics, individuals who are involuntarily working part-time are considered underemployed.

Underemployed individuals are those who are trained or skilled for one type or level of work but are working in a lower paying job or one that does not fully utilize their skills.

For example, a college graduate working part-time at a retail store instead of in a professional position in their field would be considered underemployed.
