उत्तर १
Yes, Victor is an unemployed worker. He works for two hours a day but a major portion of the day he is looking for work and is unemployed. This implies that he is an underemployed worker. The situation of underemployment refers to a situation in which a person gets work for lesser time than the time he actually can and wants to work. According to the National Sample Survey Statistics, a person who is employed for less than 28 hours in a week is called underemployed. Victor could do jobs that are part time in nature like dropping newspapers, working in a restaurant, delivering couriers, bank tellers, etc.
उत्तर २
No, Victor is not unemployed.
An unemployed person is a person who fails to get employment of even one hour in a day. If a person gets work for one to two hours in a day, he is considered having worked half a day. Since Victor is able to get work for two hours a day, he would be considered as having worked half a day and not unemployed.
Victor is a casual worker and would be doing temporary jobs like washing cars, sweeping the floor and labelling packages.
