All those part time jobs are people who got so much money they only want to work part time. Why not? Kick back and enjoy some free time! While it’s a number that flops around from month to month — the standard deviation is 287,000 — it jumped by 799,000, which was the largest one-month gain since January 1994. At the same time, there was a 523,000-person drop in full-time workers, the first decline since October. “It is unusual,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group. But he said it could be noise. And he notes that most of the *part-time rise in June was not in those who want to find full-time work but couldn’t, and instead in those who voluntarily opted to do so.*
