Underemployment and the Compensation-Productivity Gap

  1. 3 Describe the issue of underemployment and the compensation–productivity gap.

The term economic recession refers to a general slowdown in economic activity. Evidence of economic recessions includes reduced gross domestic product (GDP), which we defined in Chapter 14, and increased unemployment rates.

Among the most serious effects are underemployment and the compensation–productivity gap.
