Question

Why do you suppose that some economists argue that if part-time employment rises while unemployment remains unchanged, the economy has moved further from full employment?

Short answer

Some economists argue that if part-time employment rises while unemployment remains unchanged, the economy has moved further from full employment as it will diminish compulsory unemployment in the short run.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction

Assuming that part-time employment rises, it will diminish the compulsory unemployment in the short-run, yet unemployment or normal pace of unemployment or the pace unemployment will continue as before over the long haul.

Explanation

A lessening in compulsory unemployment in the short run will cause an ascent in expansion. The expansion will expand the expense of creation and again loss of employment will start. Subsequently, greater unemployment will move us further from full employment over the long haul when part-time employment rises.
