| The New Joblessness: Shrinking Workweek
"It's different than other recessions. Not only are firms laying off redundant workers, but they seen to be cutting into the bone. Keith Hall, commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics says the absence of hoarding means that firms do not expect business to pick up soon. This is supported by other evidence, like a doubling in the number of involuntary part-time workers (there are nine million of them) and the shrinking workweek, now 33 hours - the shortest ever recorded. Presumably, before companies start to rehire laid-off workers, they will ask their current employees to work more."
