While the economy added 165,000 jobs in April, a closer look shows that the biggest gains were in lowerpaying fields like hospitality and temp agencies. And there's some question as to whether there will be enough jobs for students once the school year ends.
Louis Hyman, and American writer and economic historian who teaches at Cornell University says he “sees in the numbers is not a recovery of full-time, good, stable work, the way we think work should be, but an economy of temps, waiters and people stringing together part-time gigs.”
Nearly eight million people who are working part-time but want to be working full-time and those part-time jobs that are normally taken by teenagers are now being taken by those in their 30s and 40s. People that are being laid off and looking for work. And this could make a long-term effect on forming job skills for younger workers. National Public Radio
