Using data from the Current Population Survey, a national survey of U.S. households, this brief outlines a strong association between involuntary part-time employment and economic vulnerability. Author Rebecca Glauber reports that the involuntary part-time employment rate more than doubled between 2007 and 2012. For women, it rose from 3.6 percent to 7.8 percent and, for men, the rate increased from 2.4 percent in 2007 to 5.9 percent in 2012. Involuntary part-time employment is a key factor in poverty. In 2012, one in four involuntary part-time workers lived in poverty, whereas just one in twenty full-time workers lived in poverty. In 2012, involuntary part-time workers were nearly five times more likely than full-time workers to have spent more than three months of the previous year unemployed. Not only do part-time workers bring home less money than full-time workers, but they also tend to have fewer fringe benefits. Involuntary part-time workers face even greater penalties. As this brief describes, they are more likely to live in poverty and to experience sustained periods of unemployment.

Kwa kutumia takwimu kutoka kwa Uchunguzi wa Idadi ya Watu wa Hivi sasa, utafiti wa kitaifa wa kaya za Marekani, muhtasari huu unaelezea uhusiano mkubwa kati ya ajira ya muda usio wa hiari na udhaifu wa kiuchumi. "Mwandishi wa vitabu Rebecca Glauber anasema: ""Kama ilivyo kwa watu wengi, idadi ya watu wanaofanya kazi kwa muda mfupi imepanda zaidi ya mara mbili kati ya mwaka wa 2007 na 2012." Kwa wanawake, iliongezeka kutoka asilimia 3.6 hadi 7.8 na kwa wanaume, iliongezeka kutoka asilimia 2.4 hadi 5.9 mwaka wa 2012. Kazi ya muda isiyo ya hiari ni jambo muhimu katika umaskini. Mwaka 2012, mtu mmoja kati ya wanne waliofanya kazi kwa muda mfupi bila kujitolea aliishi katika umaskini, huku mmoja tu kati ya wanane waliofanya kazi kwa wakati wote akiishi katika umaskini. Katika mwaka 2012, wafanyakazi wa muda waliofanya kazi bila kujitolea walikuwa karibu mara tano zaidi ya wafanyakazi wa wakati wote kuwa wamekuwa na miezi zaidi ya mitatu ya mwaka uliopita bila kazi. Kwa mfano, wafanyakazi wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda wa muda. Wafanyakazi wa muda-muda wasio wa hiari wanakabiliwa na adhabu kubwa hata zaidi. Kama maelezo haya yanavyoelezea, wana uwezekano mkubwa wa kuishi katika umaskini na uzoefu wa vipindi vya kudumu vya ukosefu wa kazi.
