Re: My statement was "But part time workers where never recorded as unemployed".

(And I merely and simply observed that you *never* provided any evidence --- either way --- to either support or disprove that assertion. Neither did I. So I cannot say that I would agree with it, since I have no idea how the government defines 'part-time', nor if they have ever changed or altered their definition.)

Re: Am I correct that what you meant was something more like "I though the article said that part time people where counted as unemployed"?

No. Not that. (And the article, upon careful rereading of it, most definitely NEVER says anything of the sort.)

I thought (and I still do) that the original article IMPLIED that some changes might have been made over the many decades, insofar as how the government counts and categorizes what is 'part-time' and what is 'full-time' in it's unemployment statistics....

But the article (possibly because it is so short, possibly because of a hack editing job on it by the editors, possibly because of sloppy work by the author, possibly because???????) never actually comes right out and states anything definitive about the matter. Only one very short paragraph even mentions part-time.
