A part-time job carries fewer hours per week than a full-time job, and usually pays less than a full-time job. Typically, part-time employees in the United States are not given any benefits (such as health insurance).
"Part-time" can also be used in reference to a student (usually in higher education) who takes a few courses, rather than a full load of coursework each semester.
