    I agree with you as well of the spirit of what the study in the article is trying to do, but I do object to the terminology they used, as it muddies the waters unnecessarily. A term like “underemployed” is much better than “functionally unemployed.”

      A term like “underemployed” is much better than “functionally unemployed.”

      that’s because you’re not as used to using the word “functional” as i am.
