Full-time jobs are vanishing and forcing more people into part-time work
market watch via msn ^ | 9/12/24 | Jeffry Bartash

What’s going on? The economy has slowed, fewer companies are hiring and businesses have less of a need for labor. Workers are now losing what was the most leverage they’d had in decades.

Excluding the pandemic, the U.S. jobs market hasn’t seen such a seismic shift since the 2008-09 financial crisis, when conditions were even worse.

“Full-time versus part-time employment is showing a big divergence, which tallies with the idea that the U.S. is adding largely lower-paid, part-time jobs and is losing full-time, well-paid jobs,” said James Knightley, chief international economist at ING.

The 1500-lb elephant in the room no one talks about. Third- world populations hating on the white race. And whites hating on themselves helping out.

I love actor Stephen Root, and I don’t care who knows it! He never fails to amuse me in anything he does. :)

Not if you have an actual skill. Companies where I am will work you to death of you are a machinist. 40 to 50 hours per week minimum. They want 10 hour days and weekends. I would give anything for a part time machining job but since its “all we want or nothing”, eff them. I’ll stock shelves. You want my skill you pay for it by accommodating MY hours and respect my time. I suspect that if Industry would drop the 8 or 10 hour paradigm and respect work/life balance, they might find more skilled help.

I know some young men who can’t find jobs these days.

And they are white guys. Good people, but not a diversity hire.

Yeah, have 4-5 illegals do the job of 1 American for less than the price of a .5 American!

Obamacare accelerated this.

Now Deep State is finishing the job.

My hubby’s career lasted almost 40 years.

Nights, weekends, out of town, out of the country, massive amounts of overtime were often required.

For almost 40 years.

The only exception was working from home during the lockdown.

You do what you have to do.

And if you’re wise, you count your blessings and make the best of it.

First Guy: “I lost my job working part time.”

Second Guy: “That’s too bad. What was the problem?”

First Guy: “It was a full time job.”

Exactly. Tax employers through Obamacare if they hire for more than 32 hours per week.

I work for a company that implemented the $15/hr minimum. Right after that they cut the hours of all of the lower level employees. Now they make less that they did when they barely earned minimum wage.
