Part-Time Workers

Part-time workers are individuals who are employed but work fewer hours than full-time employees, typically under 35 hours a week. In the context of labor force participation, they represent a significant segment of the workforce. Part-time jobs can be chosen for flexibility, personal preference, or due to the unavailability of full-time positions. Their participation impacts economic indicators, employment rates, and overall labor dynamics, reflecting both individual work choices and broader economic conditions. Understanding part-time work helps in analyzing the health and trends within the labor market.
