The number of people in part-time jobs because they are unable to find full-time work has topped 1 million for the first time, this is according to a recent Guardian article. More than a million people are working part-time out of "necessity rather than convenience" for the first time – a 45% increase since the recession began, according to a new study. Analysis by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) shows that the number of people working part-time because they cannot find full-time employment has reached record levels, fuelling fears that the phenomenon of "midworking" will see a generation of people in a job but employed for only just enough hours to cover essential spending. In the mean time those over 45 face severe difficulties with finding any job some claiming that they don't even get to be shortlisted.
