overemployment

Where it comes from

From over- + employment.

noun

uncountable The condition of being overemployed. People who remain overemployed tolerate longer hours because they either expect their overemployment to be brief (such as temporary care-giving), or figure that part-time or reduced hours status involves too large a sacrifice in terms of benefit coverage or job status.
