Part timers are not getting more hours because once they get between 30 and 35 hours per week, many companies consider it full time work and they become eligible for benefits like health insurance, retirement benefits, and paid vacation. With shortages of workers in jobs like food,lodging, and retail, employers want to give the ones they do have more hours, but corporate bean counters block this when benefits kick in. Just like they hate paying overtime even when needed.
