One million more work part-time

The number of people in part-time jobs because they cannot find full-time work has increased by a million since just before the recession, according to a new study.

The TUC said there were now 3.3 million "under- employed" people in the UK, up by 42% since early 2008.

More than one in 10 workers are not doing enough hours, rising to one in eight among women.
