Why do you believe such nonsense that the "labour market is
stabilizing", when most of the new jobs were part-time .

Since the recession began hundreds of thousands of full -time jobs
have been lost. 

More and more workers are working two part-time jobs instead of one
full-time job, and putting in more hours for less money and less
benefits. 

Tell me, what is "stable" about part-time jobs replacing full-time
ones.  !!!!!
