潜せん在ざい失しつ業ぎょう

noun, noun which may take the genitive case particle 'no'

invisible unemployment; hidden unemployment

Economic term for unemployment not reflected in official statistics, such as discouraged workers or underemployment.

• 潜せん在ざい失しつ業ぎょう者しゃは統とう計けいに表あらわれないため、実じっ際さいの失しつ業ぎょう率りつはもっと高たかいかもしれない。

  Because invisible unemployment doesn't appear in statistics, the actual unemployment rate may be higher.
