Re: st: ratio of part time work

[David Kantor <kantor.d@att.net>]

I would add, that you may want to look, instead at the ratio...
 (zmalprt+zfemprt) / (zmalfull+zfemfull+zmalprt+zfemprt)

that is, the proportion that part-time work represents as compared to 
the total work.  But that's something you need to decide as a 
substantive matter.
