ANSWER:
Victor is underemployed
EXPLANATION:
Yes, victor is an underemployed worker as he is working only for 2 hours and does not work to his full capacity, and a major portion of his day goes in looking for work. Underemployment denotes to a situation wherein a person gets work for lesser time than the time he/she actually could and would like to work.
A regular employment is where a person works for atleast 6-8 hours a day. According to the National Sample Survey (NSS) statistics, any individual who works for less than twenty eight hours/week is called underemployed. Victor could do possibly be doing jobs such as delivering couriers, working as a waiter in a hotel, dropping milk packets/newspaper, bank tellers, and so on.
