Great point. Better to be employed than not, and of course no job is a perfect fit.
Would be interesting to count one as being only 60% employed, in the example you give. So if you had 100 million people all employed at 60% fit, that's an 'effective' employment of 60 million. Of course, I have no idea how one might measure that.
But I am not an economist, there may be similar (or superior) measures for underemployment.
