Why Part-Time Employment matters for EUR
High involuntary part-time employment signals hidden labour market slack that can dampen wage growth even when headline unemployment is low, an important nuance for the European Central Bank's assessment of economic capacity.
How to interpret this series
Rising involuntary part-time employment during an expansion is a dovish signal; it indicates more workers want full-time jobs, limiting wage pressure. Falling part-time counts alongside rising full-time employment is the most bullish combination for the eur.
