percent) showed little change over the month…
“The number of
long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was little changed at
2.8 million in November. These individuals accounted for 30.7 percent of the unemployed…The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons
(sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers), at 6.9 million,
changed little in November. These individuals, who would have preferred
full-time employment were working part time because their hours had been cut
back or because they were unable to find a full-time job…
“In November, 2.1 million
persons were marginally attached to the labor force, essentially unchanged from
a year earlier…These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were
available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months.
They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in
the 4 weeks preceding the survey…Among the marginally attached, there were
698,000 discouraged workers in November, little different from a year earlier…Discouraged
workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs
are available for them…”
