- oblio 5y agoI think it's more likely that a lot of poor people have a main job, frequently with a number of hours that prevents them getting all the benefits of a full time job (think 35 hours instead of 40) and then they work extra, on the side, to be able to make ends meet. So legally they'd only show up as working 15-20-35 hours and in fact they'd work 60 hours a week.
- randomdata 5y agoThe referenced dataset is about employment, not jobs. Hours worked in a week would not be affected by how many different employers one has. The distinction is if they work 1 to 34 hours (part-time) or 35 or more hours (full-time).
