Gallup: Unemployed Americans Face Challenging Job Search

Four in 10 unemployed Americans expect to have a job in the next four weeks, by Dennis Jacobe, Chief Economist, Gallup”

  • “Six in 10 unemployed Americans say the next job they get is not likely to be one they want; instead, they’ll have to settle for one they don’t really want. Four in 10 underemployed adults have similar expectations about a full-time job.hese results are based on a USA Today/Gallup poll conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking between Dec. 21, 2010, and Jan. 9, 2011. The USA Today/Gallup survey defines unemployed Americans as adults aged 18 and older who are currently out of work but say they are able to work and are actively looking. The unemployed group also includes out-of-work adults who are not currently looking for a job, but who plan to look in the future. The latter constitute so-called discouraged workers, who are commonly considered out of the workforce and therefore are not included in standard government or Gallup unemployment figures. Underemployed Americans are those working part time, but who would like to work full time.”
