U.S. states with most part-time, full-time employees
According to 2010 data, what states in the U.S. have the greatest number of part-time and full-time employees?
In today’s job market, more people are taking on part-time employment, whether it’s temporary and a way to get by, or because hours have been reduced and a full-time position has been replaced by a part-time one.
In our latest Marketplace Map, we take a look at America at Work. The data on employment in 2010 reveals that the part-time workforce has become a major part of the job numbers. Some states in the U.S. reported nearly a quarter of its workforce employed in part-time jobs.
