new jobs report

By Terry Savage on December 30, 2022 | Wild Card

When a report of how many new jobs have been created comes out, is there a way to know if these are “full time” jobs — i,e,. that pay a living wage (enough to support yourself or yourself and family)? I always wonder what percent are part-time jobs that you would need to have 2 or 3 of to be able to cover living costs.

Happy New Year!

The jobs report considers full-time jobs. But whether you can live on what they pay is quite another question!
