Response #1 -August Jobs Report: U.S. adds 142,000 part-time jobs as full-time employment collapses - The U.S. added 142,000 jobs in August, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but full-time positions plummeted by 438,000, with part-time work surging by 527,000. This shift marks a continuation of a trend where part-time jobs drive all net job growth. Economist E.J. Antoni explained, “Employment growth since June 2023 has been 100% driven by net additions of part-time work; full-time jobs have been disappearing, and that trend continued in August.” Native-born Americans have lost over 1.3 million jobs in the past year, while foreign-born workers have gained over 1.2 million jobs, signaling what Antoni described as a recovery where “the American worker has been left behind.” - https://mxmnews.com/article/460d5d7d-5da6-4aab-95f9-9cf63fe64fc2?august-jobs-report-u-s-adds-142-000-part-time-jobs-as-full-time-employment-collapses
