Ever since the recent recession and the employer health care mandate employment numbers really don't mean the same. During the great recession there was the invention of the 32 hour work week instead of laying off 20% of standard 40 hour a week employees. Large companies in manufacturing did this and that was previously unheard of. That trend then continued by companies trying to avoid the employer health care mandate.

Also it seems another recent trend is giving employees in entry level jobs very few hours, this is among employees willing to work full time. A couple years ago my girlfriend's early 20's son had 3 jobs and they didn't even combine for 40 hours a week. He was working one day a week at Game Stop, delivering pizzas at one place and making them at a next. So any one of those jobs would qualify him as employed. He finally got a job working in an Amazon warehouse, not until he got a promotion to a shift lead did they give him full time hours and that took a couple years.
