Disappearing American Dream
47% of Americans have a full-time job.
144 million Americans employed last month, only 116 million were working full-time. Friday's report showed that 58.7% of the civilian adult population of 245 million was working last month. Only 47% of Americans, however, had a full-time job.
There is a growing number of Americans slipping through the cracks of the job market.
