Part-Time Employment (USD)

Total number of persons employed part-time. While part-time gains add to the employment level, excessive reliance on part-time employment can signal economic weakness or underutilization of the labor force. The ratio of full-time to part-time employment is key for assessing the quality of labor market recovery.
