Well duh! When you start seeing major service industries cutting back full time to part time, that opens up more part time staff positions. So there will be more jobs for the art history majors, french lit types, at Dominoes, Papa Johns, et al..
Obama’s Job Sharing Plan
"Our story continues to portray the growing strength for employment opportunities for new graduates in the face of monumentally difficult economic challenges. While the number of opportunities may be insufficient to provide every new graduate a meaningful position, the expansion continues to whittle away at the number having to enter part-time or non-career related employment."So, the hires they are talking about are not part-time or non-career related hires but ones which require a Bachelor's Degree or other degree.
