Underemployment Rates

North Dakota consistently has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, but this number is deceiving. North Dakota has a significant amount of underemployed workers, or individuals working in a job well below their skill level or training. North Dakota communities conducted labor availability studies in November 2002, which indicated the average number of job seekers - or underemployed workers - was 28 percent.
