Some years ago, US employees were offered, and accepted, full-time jobs with a high level of benefits. Today, that trend has reversed where part-time job and/or temporary consulting jobs are becoming more common as opposed to full-time employment. Given this background, address the following:
Provide a brief, statistical background on the rising level of part-time versus full-time employment, including the rise of consultants versus employees.
Discuss the criteria a human resource professional should utilize to determine whether an organization should hire a full-time versus part-time employee, a consultant versus an employee, and what those implications would be for both an organization and an employee.
Answer the above. Within your post, support your responses with information from at least one peer-reviewed/scholarly source (not older than three to five years)
Your total word count must be at least 300 words excluding the original questions.
