Explanation:

Hidden Unemployment also known as Disguised Unemployment in simple terms refers to the following people; people who are not working and have given up on looking for work because they could not find any, people who have the skillset and determination to work full-time working only part time and people who are underemployed meaning that they are working a job that they are overqualified for.

Hidden Unemployment is considered hidden as it is not reflected in employment statistics.

Lisa could not find a job so she stopped looking. This is Hidden Unemployment and official figures will not even count her as unemployed because you need to be actively looking for work to be classified unemployed.

Penny is overqualified for the store clerk position she holds or rather she is qualified for a different profession. Employment statistics will however show her as employed.
