An unemployed person is someone who is not working, but is seeking employment. An underemployed person is someone who is only working part time and wants to be full time and also someone who is over qualified for the job he is in ( i.e, a rocket scientist working as a cab driver). In other words working at less than his full capacity or ability.

Is it possible for unemployment rates to increase at the same time that the number of employed persons is increasing?

Yes. Just means that people are replacing others, so for every one unemployed, one is employed.Another answer:No. In the above case, the status (rate) would stay the same as 1 merely replaces the other, but the ratio of unemployed to the total available work force remains the same. For example, if you have 50 unemployed and 50 employed workers, the unemployment rate is 50%. 51 unemployed and 51 employed is still 50%. Adding one more worker (i.e. just graduated from school), and you still have 50 unemployed, but now there is 51 employed. The rate now changes from 50% unemployed to 49.5% unemployed, so the unemployment RATE decreased by adding the one employed person. You CAN have unemployed NUMBERS, but not rate, increase at the same time as the employed NUMBERS increase, however.
