Abstract: Over 32.1 million working people in the United States—more than one in five—worked part-time in 2021.1 Part-time workers were hit hard in the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic; there has been a net loss of over 1 million part-time jobs between 2019 and 2021, with women accounting for 100% of the jobs lost.2 Yet between February and April 2020, the number of people working part time for “economic reasons” (i.e., involuntarily) more than doubled.3 Although this number has since declined to below pre-pandemic levels, new variants of the coronavirus and ongoing economic uncertainty continue to create instability for the part-time workforce.
