Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Engagement on Overall Fiscal Position: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Derek Moran:

During the transition to work from unemployment, someone's earnings can increase by quite an amount, but he or she might retain the concession. That in itself is not driving wages down. One of the positives from the employment data over recent quarters is the extent to which jobs are now full-time ones rather than part-time ones. Some job creation early on might have been part-time, but there has been a great deal of migration from part-time into full-time. Mr. McCarthy is closer to the data than I am.
