¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ tracks daily the percentage of U.S. adults, ages 18 and older, who are underemployed, unemployed, and employed full-time for an employer, without seasonal adjustment. "Underemployed" respondents are employed part time, but want to work full time, or they are unemployed. "Unemployed" respondents are those within the underemployed group who are not employed, even for one hour a week, but are available and looking for work.

Unemployment and underemployment are calculated as a percent of the workforce. ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ Good Jobs is a measure of those who are employed by an employer for at least 30 hours per week. ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ Good Jobs is calculated as a percent of the total population. Weekly results reflect 30-day rolling averages ending each Sunday, based on telephone interviews with approximately 30,000 adults. Because results are not seasonally adjusted, they are not directly comparable to numbers reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, which are based on workers 16 and older. Margin of error is ± 0.7 percentage points.

Note: As of July 31, 2017, ¶¶Òõ´«Ã½ will no longer routinely measure unemployment and underemployment.
