Job growth in the part-time sector got a bad rap last week in The New York Times, which reported that “…hiring has been concentrated in relatively low-wage service sectors… and in contingent jobs at temporary-hiring companies.” The takeaway was that the majority of these workers are stuck in mostly dead-end jobs.
Interestingly, the Times doesn’t focus much on the healthcare industry, which accounts for much of this job growth. And while it cites multiple negative reasons for the increased reliance on contingent workers and part-timers, it fails to mention the positives of why employers are doing so.
