โข Only 78.2% of workers now hold full-time jobs
โข Lowest level since mid-2021
โข Down 2.5% from the June 2023 peak โ a deeper drop than during the 2001 recession ๐
At the same timeโฆ
โ ๏ธ Part-time jobs just hit an ALL-TIME HIGH
โ +1 million in two months
๐ Total: 29.5M part-time workers
This isnโt job growth โ itโs job quality erosion.
