The Recovery is Led by Part-Time, Not Full-Time Employment

Since the April bottom, part-time employment has regained a much greater share of employees who were laid off.

Full-time employment is up more in raw numbers but lags on a percentage basis.

Four months in, the part-time employment recovery is 68.1% vs 47.9% for full-time employment. Overall, the recovery is only 54.8%. 

Part-time employment will recover first and then some. In a few months, it may exceed 100%.
