Another Look at Part-time Employment

Download pdf

Since the end of the last recession in 1991, newspaper editorialists and other pundits have frequently complained about part-time work. They claim that the labor market has changed fundamentally for the worse and that part-time jobs are displacing full-time positions at an alarmingly rapid pace. The implication is that many Americans who want full-time jobs are able to find only part-time work.
