非全时就业工人的比例在经济衰退时大幅增加。这一现象应如何解释？一种假设是，非全时工作在对商业周期不太敏感的部门更为普遍，因此，就业部门构成的衰退性变化解释了非全时就业的增加。然而，证据表明，这种假设只占故事的一小部分。相反，兼职工作的增长主要是通过减少现有工作的工作时间来实现的。
The share of workers employed part-time increases substantially in economic downturns. How should this phenomenon be interpreted? One hypothesis is that part-time jobs are more prevalent in sectors that are less sensitive to the business cycle, so that recessionary changes in the sectoral composition of employment explain the increase in part-time employment. The evidence shows, however, that this hypothesis only accounts for a small part of the story. Instead, the growth of part-time work operates mainly through reductions in working hours in existing jobs.
