There have always been a lot of people working part time without benefits for minimum wage. Why do you think that is BAD? Working is much better than being on the dole. I worked for minimum wage, my kids and grandkids did. Then they worked for higher wages as they became educated or climbed up the ladder.

Of course a lot of employers have switched some of their jobs to part time as things were forced upon them. You can't get blood out of a turnip. For profit businesses keep the economy alive. I can't get over all the folks who haven't worked for a for profit business.
