“The number of persons
employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was about unchanged in October at 7.0 million. 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 October, 2.2
million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, little changed 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 770,000 discouraged workers in October, essentially
unchanged from a year earlier. Discouraged workers are persons not currently
looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them…
“Employment in…mining
and logging, wholesale trade, information, financial activities, and
government, showed little change over the month…”
