Abstract: Almost 33 million working people in the United States—about one in five—work part time. Many people work part time to support their families while caring for loved ones, going to school, or attending to other obligations, but are penalized for choosing part-time work in terms of pay, benefits, stability, and opportunities to advance. And for many others, working part time isn’t a choice at all: some employers, particularly in low-wage service industries, rarely offer full-time positions, and some employees—especially women—find that caregiving or other responsibilities preclude full-time work.
