Employment numbers can be absolutely meaningless and interpreted many different ways. I think it was the early 2000's manufacturing companies where I lived cut their work week to 32 hours from 40 instead of laying off 20% of the work force. Even though it shows no job losses those workers are working 20% less than they want to. Also it seems in a lot of service industry minimum wage jobs people are getting very few hours these days. At one time my girlfriend's adult son was working 3 places and still often not totaling 40 hours a week. He was working inside one pizza place, delivering pizzas for another, and working 1-2 days a week at a video game store.
