Seriously, if the unemployment was NOT producing a large number of increasing part-time work, a loss in full time job numbers that were replaced with part time ... then why would CNN report a large concern over part time employment? Why would their own reposrters admit to families working two or more part time jobs over a full time career with benefits and career salaries? Why would USA Today report part time as the new norm. Combine that with the 63% average job participation rate during the past 8 years which was LOWER than reported in 2008. I honestly wonder how bright you liberals are, if you honestly think Obama did SO WELL on the economy that it wasn't a concern on the last presidential election? There is no doubt you liberals are in a clear case of denial and need to wake up to the REAL world.

Involuntary part-time workers — those who are seeking full-time work or holding multiple jobs — remain between 19% and 20% of the nation's workforce, up from 17% in 2007.
