Last week, I asked about full-time employment in Washington. The reality was shocking to many respondents.
The changing nature of employment: frequent job changes, working multiple part-time jobs at the same time, more contractor work, etc., has profound public policy implications.
For many in our workforce, relying on employer-based programs to provide benefits like paid leave, health care, and retirement is becoming more difficult.
Here are some additional statistics showing how many hours a given percent of the workforce worked for the same employer in 2016.
