That is a report year-on-year from November 2010 to November 2011.

The Rexecode report (confirmed by the OFCE paper) looks at the period 1999-2010, on the basis of the Labour Force Survey.

I've just checked the numbers from the German LFS at Eurostat. They are:

  • Total employed fulltime, 1999 : 29.089 mn

  • Total employed fulltime, 2010 : 28.382 mn

Difference: -707,000 or -2.4%

  • Total employed part-time, 1999 : 6.654 mn

  • Total employed part-time, 2010 : 9.690 mn

Difference: +3.036 mn or +45.6%

This confirms the observation that fulltime jobs in Germany have decreased while part-time work has greatly increased, accounting for all the rise in total employment since 1999.

Most of the part-time jobs have gone, as we might expect, to women - +2.164 mn over the period, compared to +872 600 for men.

Said I something else?

To make my point somewhat better LFS on full-time:

2006 Q3:  27.653,5

2011 Q3: 29.154,6

part-time:

2006 Q3: 9.231,9   

2011 Q3: 10.069,8

That is a gain of 1.4 mill full-time and 800,000 part-time jobs. I used the third quarter because these are the latest numbers.
