Although the economy is doing much better than during the Great Recession, still a long way to go before the job search of the opinion that the full impact of the recovery in the labor market. According to a new CareerBuilder survey , 32 percent of part-time workers say they want want to work full time, but were unable to get a full time job . Perhaps most worrisome time, those who want to work full time, but not, say 31 percent, they are the sole breadwinners. Thirty-nine percent say they are struggling to survive financially. One of four part-time workers who want full-time jobs to work two or more jobs.

What are the obstacles for the jobseekers who meet in finding full-time work? How will you make ends meet in the meantime? Here we are in the struggle of nearly a third of American workers face change from part-time to full-time employment.

Barriers looking for a full time job
There are many reasons why job seekers are still struggling to find a full-time position. "Although we see a slight increase in full-time permanent employment, many workers are still struggling to find work in their field," Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources at CareerBuilder says. Part-time work is an important step added career that workers should not be overlooked: "For some, a part-time job is just a way to pay for others, it is a popular scheme work or trampoline." If part-time work is not your first choice, however, it is important to consider that prevents full-time employment.

When asked why they think that they are struggling to find full-time, part-time workers studied full-time employment gave the following answers:
  • There are many jobs in my area available, since it pre-recession: 54 percent
  • I do not know the qualifications for the jobs in demand: 51 percent
  • I am not looking for a full-time regularly: 31 percent
  • I do not have the necessary training: 29 percent

But these obstacles are not looking for work, if you are willing to work, and many take advantage of every opportunity employer and show that you are a valuable employee are impressive. Most of these workers (62 percent) say they would be willing to work for an organization without pay for a period of time to demonstrate the value they bring as a full-time employee.

Distribution of education
Among jobseekers working part time but want to work full-time, 29 percent say that they are not required to continue working full-time training. However, 27 percent have a four-year degree or more, 8 percent have an associate's degree, 18 percent had a college and 7 percent have in a specific work program of education after secondary participated. Forty percent have a high school degree or less school. Although educational attainment levels vary, there are opportunities for all employees to develop and expand their knowledge - but it will work.

Haefner said: "Those who should try to make the transition to a full time job to approach a part-time job as an opportunity to learn a new skill ., new relationships or explore a new career also must look for companies that are interested in the work to connect their talents networks, so that they are the first to learn about new jobs with the company. "

The financial - and physical - bill to part-time employees
The inability to find full-time employment, the financial situation has affected, not only for the workers, but their way of life and even their health. When asked to choose from a list of experiences that have led from their struggles, part-time workers who say they want full-time jobs have cited the following:
  • Gradient, to save money (eg canceled a cheaper, Cable Car negotiate, they moved to a smaller house): 31 percent
  • We had to borrow money from friends or relatives: 29 percent
  • He suffered from depression: 23 percent
  • Proposed home with parents: 22 percent
  • I went to the credit card debt is high: 17 percent
  • Experienced health problems: 14 percent

All of these are very real problems that a significant number of families will find every day overlooking the no full-time employment. As the economy continues to improve and the work force is stronger, more job seekers can obtain full-time jobs . But in the meantime, the pursuit of higher education, new skills and work part-time are the best practices for the workers trying to get full-time jobs.
