You sounds like you’ve never held a job before and these terms are brand new to you. You’re using them wrong.
I get paid by the hour, 50 years old. And the same job for 20 years. Full time.
Fulltime is typically defined as 40 hours a week max, but the threshold is lower for definitions like the ACA, you can be eligible as low as 30, and sometimes employers have to make you eligible as high as 36, it’s complicated.
I’m hourly and make a good living wage, are you implying that hourly means you don’t work full time or should be entitled to a livable wage?
The workers who are responsible for the continued function of society aren’t owed anything?
