![]() At the risk of stating the obvious... the thing to remember about part-time employment is that it's not just less in wages that someone makes for it, but the lack of all of the benefits that come with it, especially health insurance nowadays.
I personally think that the surge in part-time employment coupled with the near-disappearance of full-time employment in the US economy means major trouble down the road. |

It doesn't work that way now because nobody's created the mechanism for it. That doesn't mean you can't invent it.

I'm guessing a big issue holding it back is the focus on base salary. Someone making 50k doesn't think about all the extra benefits, so if they go from 40 hours to 30 hours they probably expect their base to be 38k and won't be happy seeing something like 30-33k. Get all the other part-timer wannabes and form a lobby group.

I've been hearing Mort Zuckerman repeat this claim time and time again that the statstic of "jobs added in X month" has been containing a disturbing number of part-time jobs for some time now. |
