How Big Of An Issue Is Underemployment In Arizona?

The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco has found, in a new report, that workers in low-income communities are having trouble finding full-time jobs.

And those with part-time jobs only have them, in many cases, because they can’t get a full-time position.

The report says this problem is especially acute in Arizona.

Leilani Barnett is regional manager for Community Development at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
