Question

Answer 1

Part-time workers who desire full-time employment are:

Underemployed and contribute to the unemployment statistic.
Underemployed but do not contribute to the unemployment statistic. ✓
Not part of the labour force and do not contribute to the unemployment statistic.
Cyclical unemployment

Explanation

Someone working part-time has a job, so official statistics count them as employed. If they want more hours, they are underemployed, but they are not added to the unemployment figure.

Only people with no work who are actively looking for it count as unemployed. That is why the option saying they add to the unemployment statistic is wrong.
