#jobsday share of workers working two full-time jobs, fell sharply. (This is a Washington Post measure of economic distress -- although it actually rises in good times)
I assume that the Washington Post will have a major piece on how workers' plights have improved.
If it's not clear, I am being sarcastic. The WaPo had an absurd piece saying that the record number (not share) of people working two full-time jobs was a sign of people not being able to make ends meet. The actual record was in 2000, at the peak of the Internet boom.
The share of people working two full-time jobs actually rises in good times and falls in bad times, but the WaPo apparently wanted to push its bad economy story.
Anyhow, now that the number is way down, I assume the WaPo will have a piece about how workers are finding it easier to make ends meet. (Market Place Radio also picked up that piece.)
