Country comparison
Full-Time Employment by Country
Full-time employment measures the count of workers in jobs above a hours-per-week threshold (typically 30-35 depending on the jurisdiction). It captures the higher-paid, more stable portion of total employment.
Why compare Full-Time Employment across countries?
Full-time job creation is a higher-quality signal than total employment because part-time gains can mask weakening demand for labour. Sustained rotation from full-time to part-time is an early-cycle warning that tends to precede broader employment weakness — and therefore central-bank cuts and currency softness.
How to read the country list
Track full-time vs part-time monthly change. A run of months where part-time grows while full-time shrinks is the classic deteriorating-quality signal.
