In February Multiple Jobholders Rose By A Record, As Full-Timers Dropped, Part-Timers Increased

 

in February according to the Household Survey, the number of full-time jobs declined by 77K from 115,918 to 115,841. The offset: a jump in part-time workers which rose from 27,467 to 27,569, or 102K.
