hi @38Packard
(by the way, thank you for all of your helpful posts, especially on navigating the boards)
just taking a basic look, it appears the data @Leap1 posted (https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/2023/01/09/full-time-and-part-time-employment-a-deeper-look) is similar to what I posted from the Bureau of Labor Statistics except I show the last 2 years and leap’s link shows the last 22 years (the link references the BLS as well).
Perhaps the uptick in part time jobs I show corresponds to the little uptick at the end of the longer series (circled below)? Kind of looks that way, so the two charts seem consistent with each other.
It’s interesting to note the uptick/downtick in PT/FT during recessions. Really strong in the financial crisis. (hopefully not too strong this time!)
