Daily Mail: One in ten 'underemployed' as record 2.8m workers are trapped in part-time jobs
A record 2.8million workers are trapped in unsatisfying or lowly paid part-time jobs. One in ten of the workforce - including thousands of graduates with good degrees - settle for work which either does not match their skills or financial need, according to the ONS. The number in so-called 'underemployment' has soared by 600,000 in just a year as the recession forces more people to accept fewer hours and take home less pay. 9.9 per cent of the British workforce say they want to work longer hours but are unable to do so.

I'm not criticising teachers or anyone else for that matter but:
How many of the 2.8 million are people who have been failed by the education system thereby rendering them incable of doing anything other than the lowly paid part time jobs referred to?
