The Job Market Signal Hidden in Part-Time Work for Economic Reasons

This episode of The Job Market Podcast with Fexingo explores the rise in involuntary part-time workers – people who want full-time work but can only find part-time hours. Hosts Lucas and Luna break down the latest BLS data showing this metric ticking up even as the unemployment rate holds steady. They explain why this 'hidden unemployment' matters more than the headline jobless rate, how it connects to underemployment in sectors like retail and hospitality, and what it signals about labor market slack that official figures miss. A fresh angle on a critical labor market indicator. #InvoluntaryPartTime #Underemployment #LaborMarket #JobMarket #EmploymentData #BLS #PartTimeWorkers #HiddenUnemployment #Careers #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EconomicIndicators #JOLTS #UnemploymentRate #Retail #Hospitality #JobQuality Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
