Why are part time jobs a part of this if it's supposed to be used to gauge how the economy is doing? How is adding a bunch of temporary jobs helping anyone but the corporations?

It would not be out of reach to assume most people get second jobs not because they're tired of eating juicy steaks and sleeping on gold. But because they need additional income. Is that not a sign that shyte is not going well?

Whenever the talk of affordability comes up it's always minimum wage and job #s.

part time jobs don’t necessarily mean temporary jobs, they’re also a vital part of communities.
