Malgré la reprise intégrale de l'emploi après le ralentissement économique, une partie de la population active est restée sous-employée à la fin de 2010. Le sous-emploi est «visible» lorsqu'une personne occupée croit que ses heures de travail sont insuffisantes, et «invisible» lorsque les compétences d'une personne ne sont pas pleinement exploitées ou que son emploi est jugé inférieur aux normes en raison du salaire ou d'autres caractéristiques de l'emploi.
