Just one anecdotal example: an e-friend -- a former Occupier -- has a graduate degree in English and sometimes works as an adjunct professor. But being an adjunct is a gig job these days, low pay and zero job security, and her state is cutting its education budget. So to keep a roof over her head she waits tables evenings and weekends.
On paper, she is fully employed. In reality she is under-employed and there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
Meanwhile she has a big student loan debt.
Point being, just because the unemployment rate is low doesn't mean everything is OK. It's a gig economy.
