One in six American workers currently works part-time, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Less than a quarter do so for economic reasons (meaning, they’d like to work full-time, but are forced to accept part-time hours). The rest work part-time by choice — some to balance caregiving responsibilities with work, others to support semi-retirement, and still others because they prefer it.
For those looking for the most flexibility, part-time work-from-home jobs may be the best way to build their careers while balancing their other priorities.
“A part-time remote job can be an ideal arrangement for many professionals who either can’t find a good job in their local area and/or for people such as working parents, semi-retirees, people with health issues or disabilities, military spouses, millennials, career changers, and people seeking better an alternative working arrangement to full-time, on-site work,” said Sara Sutton Fell, Founder and CEO of FlexJobs, in a statement.
She continued: “In these types of roles, workers are able to continue in and even advance their careers, change into new types of work, maintain or grow their professional networks, earn income, and/or pursue their work-related passions without committing to a full-time schedule or wasting time on a commute to a traditional office location.”
