Is it possible to be overqualified for the current job market? Scholars analyze underemployment and what it takes to potentially out-price yourself for a job. A short video lesson outlines economic growth and researches job trends. Scholars discuss career planning based on the needs of the market itself and come to realize that just because they are interested in a certain field of work doesn't mean they will land a job in that field.
