Unemployed - people currently not employed, but actively seeking work. Potential Labor - people not in the labor force, but would work if jobs were available. Underemployed - part-time workers seeking full-time work and full-time workers who believe they are overqualified for their current job. (Underemployment figures for out of state counties were calculated by KCED staff based on the model from the Kentucky Labor Market Survey.) Future Labor - people becoming 18 years of age (not part of the total available labor statistics). |
