Hello everyone,
Here are my articles for our next class:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/20/business/part-time-work-becomes-full-time-wait-for-better-job.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&ref=business
Questions:
a) According to the article, what are the primary reasons for an increased reliance on part-timers?
b) Compare the American and Czech economies with respect to part-time jobs. How common are part-time jobs in the Czech Rep./the US? Do Czechs prefer part/full- time jobs? Would Czechs be so frustrated as Americans while having just part-time job?
