While economists cheered much of the data from the latest government jobs report, one thing that left them less than enthusiastic is the number of hours employees are working.
USA Today reports many economists are concerned about the increase in the number of part-time workers who would prefer full-time jobs. In the U.S. Labor Department's latest report released last week, that number spiked by more than 250,000 nationwide, to 7.5 million.
