First, let me say that you just have to be really skeptical about a press-release like this with few details and no links to see what the details of the actual policy are. I know that my internal "spin- sensors" went off with blinking lights when reading this, so I would definitely like to know the *rest* of the story, or at least the other side of it. This is the same organization, after all, that opposed a Republican plan in the Senate to extend the same "flexitime" rules enjoyed by federal employees to private-sector employees the day it was introduced. Sometimes I think that if Bush supported implementation of the Federal Employee's Pay Comparability Act (FEPCA - which would produce roughly a 20% raise for Feds) that they would still find a way to oppose it, just because it was Bush doing the proposing... > Hmmm, more thoughts are popping into my head.

I am sure that there are. I actually periodically come across reports (maybe a BLS report?) that tracks the number of part-time workers that would prefer to have full-time work.
