The Part Time Employment Change measures the net change in the number of people employed in part-time roles, typically defined as working fewer than 35 hours per week. While an increase in part-time jobs contributes to overall employment growth, it is sometimes viewed as a sign of economic uncertainty if full-time positions are simultaneously decreasing.
Calculated through labor force surveys where respondents report their weekly working hours. The figure represents the difference in the total number of part-time employees from one month to the next.
