2. Distinguishing between full-time and part-time working: Respondents to the Labour Force Survey are asked to self-classify their main job as either full-time or part-time. However, people on government supported employment and training programmes that are at college in the reference week are classified, by convention, as part-time. In employer surveys, jobs are generally classified as being full-time if the contracted hours of work are more than 30 hours per week.
