underemployment:

... a condition that exists when workers earn less than their potential; an inequality between production skills and wages payed by an employer; the mismatch between the skills workers provide on the job and financial compensation. The underemployed are included in labor market surveys because they are likely to be enticed by better pay for the skills they have. Economic development is achieved by creating job opportunities for the underemployed.

unemployment:

... a condition that exists when a laborforce has workers able, ready and willing to accept employment but have no jobs; a statistical measure defined as a percentage of a laborforce. A tight labor market is generally indicated by a statistical reporting of less-than-3% unemployed (some members of a laborforce may be considered unemployable). Events such as recent closings or layoffs may not show up in statistics or labor information available from indirect sources. It is advisable, therefore, to investigate a labor market by communicating with employers in a place of interest or with local development representatives.

unionized labor:

... employed and unemployed workers identified and grouped together as members of representative organizations which stands between them and their employers. To be unionized means that a group is under the influence or control of one or more unions. A unionized area has a significant union density which, if that is the case, is generally of interest to enterprise developers and site selectors. The perception of a unionized area should be clarified by looking closely at the historic record of its orientation toward unionization in combination with attitudes and actions that polarize labor and management

urbanized area:

... a center of population and the adjacent densely settled places contiguous to it. Some definitions include numbers to qualify a place as densely settled, for example, a community may be considered urbanized at a population density of 1000 persons per square mile. There may be places that are not so densely populated within an urbanized area that are included as part of it for spatial continuity. In general, those unfamiliar with the composition of an urban area tend to identify it by the name of the city they see as its population center. Urbanization has taken place around transportation centers throughout the world. The cities are centers of regional economies. Whole regions are often referred to simply by the names of cities. This being the case, The Network uses the term city-region.

It tends to be misleading when the implication is made that a website or page is popular or has something of value to offer based simply on counting visitors. Visitors, however, are all too often counted as so called hits (one source of information about hit, page and web counters defines them as ... devices which display the number of visits which have been made to a website or page within a website). The points about hit and visitors are moot when it comes to .network users.
