then, I guess, people would rather prefer less available jobs who pay better, incombination with lower overall costs
(so they need just one job and don't have to work 10+ hours per day and maybe even on weekends and actually have time to recuperate)
Businessinsider therefore sees "underemployment" (i.e. whre you have a job but it isn't sufficient to make ends meet) to be a more important statistics than unemployment:

Or to say it with an example:
Say I hire some jobless person for 5 hours a workday to do daily chores (like caring for the garden, doing telephone calls and courier tasks, washing dishes and so on) but only pay him 5€ $ an hour with no paid leave (due to there being no minimum wage and holiday standards), that would bring in ~500 $€ per month.
Maybe sufficient for a student (whose study would suffer from the long work hours, however), but not sufficient to raise a family of 3.
Nevertheless the formerly jobless person would fall out of the unemployment statistics (due to now having a job)
