Actually, I consider "underemployed" to mean "employed with a combination of hours and pay that nevertheless is inadequate to independently pay for housing, food, clothing, minimal transportation, and health insurance."  So, to my mind, it's more of a Venn diagram, with some overlap in retail from, say, middle management and above.

Your definition would include full-time students who are working part-time jobs for extra spending money (and some other people, such as some retirees, working part-time for similar reasons).  Is that intentional?

Homeowner, tenant, or co-tenant.  Someone for whom living independently would be a primary concern.  Not including college dorm residents or someone in a situation where their basic needs are taken care of voluntarily (living free with family members, upkeep supported by retirement/disability programs, etc).
