The government's latest employment report shows weaker-than-expected job growth in March, but it has a bright spot: More part-time workers appear to be getting full-time jobs.

That's a good sign for both the economy and the labor market.

The number of voluntary part-time workers also declined, by 365,000 to 5.1 million.

At the same time, the ranks of full-time workers jumped by 882,000, the most since April 2000, according to the Labor Department's household survey. That survey determines the unemployment rate, now 8.2%, down from 8.3% in February.

1. That's really great.

Full time usually means more than just a bigger check...it includes benefits like health and retirement.
