How many people are there in the country?
How many of those people work full time? Part time? Not at all?
How many people are underemployed? Including part-timers looking for full time, and full time at low-skilled jobs because they can't find jobs in their primary skill.
Break all of those numbers down by age groups.
How have those numbers changed over time?
Why have those numbers changed over time? (With what evidence?) eg: Second earners or elderly switching to part-time or leaving work since they now have healthcare. Factory closed and can't afford to move. Older worker forced out to avoid paying retirement benefits.
You need all those numbers before you can even get to the "why". Quoting any one number in isolation doesn't tell a story. Even quoting the change in one number over time doesn't tell a story.
