The labour market in Scotland has weakened considerably since the start of the recession, despite relatively low levels of unemployment, according to a university economist.
There has been a 28% drop in people working paid overtime and a 17% drop in average overtime hours since 2007, Stirling University Professor David Bell has found.
One in 10 Scottish workers is willing to work more hours, Mr Bell said in a report to go before Holyrood's Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee this week.
