Term · Economic statistics · MLC-T-ECS-000783

Classification of workers that is based on whether they work full time or part time.

Note: For the Current Population Survey (CPS), full-time workers are those who usually work 35 hours or more per week at their sole or principal job; part-time workers usually work 1 to 34 hours of work per week. For the ECEC, full-time and part-time statuses are not determined by the number of hours worked but are based on the employer’s definition of those terms.
