Under President Biden, the U.S. has seen a mix of full-time and part-time job growth. Approximately 2.1 million full-time jobs and over 1.18 million part-time jobs have been added since he took office[1]. However, recent data indicates a decline in full-time jobs, with a loss of 1.5 million over the past year, while part-time jobs increased by 1.8 million[2][3]. This suggests a shift towards more part-time employment, potentially impacting access to benefits like healthcare.
Are these full time jobs, or the same “max 17 hours a week” to prevent any hope of people getting healthcare?
