“Involuntary part-time workers,” those in part-time positions for economic reasons, increased by a seasonally-adjusted 303,000 in July.

The July uptick wasn't due to a lack of full-time jobs. Compared with the June report, July saw fewer workers who could only find part-time work. Instead, the report said, workers were forced into part-time roles because of reduced hours and unfavorable business conditions.
