Part-Time Workforce Is the New Normal

Darrell McCall, 29, worked full time as a salesperson at Juicy Couture’s flagship store in New York City for two and a half years. He had health insurance and a 401(k). “It was one of the few good jobs on Fifth Avenue,” he says. “I was able to get by.”That changed last year when Juicy started letting full-time workers go and replacing them with part-timers who accepted lower pay and no benefits, McCall says.
