I know a few, but they also worked multiple jobs under Trump and Obama as well. I'm curious as to how much it has grown thanks to inflation.

Three good charts that illustrate the underlying problems. Most of the job gains are part time work. The highest sectors gaining are government and healthcare (heavily subsidized by the government).

The trend of average hours worked per week is trending down, close to where we were during the pandemic.

You do know he was being snarky, right? He never expected you to produce receipts. He could have easily looked this up himself but he thought he saw an opportunity to have a gotcha moment. Well done.

Maybe. Regardless it’s good to provide sources even if the questions are in bad faith.

I appreciated the backup too, but reality says we didn’t need much statistical evidence. We have a local DG that has 40-60 year old men working short shifts in the evening as 2nd jobs.

The folks in charge in DC don’t have any idea what they’re doing on 98% of the issues except when they reinstall something the GOP introduced and rename it as if it were an idea of their own.

For sure. My assumption is that boomers who are retired are working part time due to inflation. That explains how bottlenecked the job market has become because it’s difficult living on a fixed income the last three years.

This recession, much like inflation, will only be transitory.

He will be along to call people names in no time.

He doesn’t post on weekends or on vacation or when Biden looks bad or any dem looks bad really.
