English term or phrase: under-represented and under-employeed members of the community
Minority workforce development programs provide a wide variety of employment programs and services focused on educating and training under-represented and under-employeed members of the community for meaningful, productive jobs in the community.
------ I don't understand the meaning of "under-represented and under-employeed". 「under-represented and under-employeed」の意味がわかりません。underrepresented は、少数派のという感じでしょうか?
宜しくお願いします。
