The Rise of Underemployment: Supporting the Needs of Low-Income Workers

Leilani Barnett

No 2017-2, Community Development Working Paper from Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

Abstract: In 2016, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco held a series of roundtable discussions across the Western states to examine drivers of the recent rise in involuntary part-time employment and the impact it has on lower-income households. This paper summarizes existing research on the topic of underemployment, discusses themes that surfaced during the locally focused meetings, and proposes ways to address the underlying causes through solutions that build on the interrelated nature of housing, jobs, transportation, and child care.
