With the exception of education and healthcare jobs, which almost always require at least some college coursework, most part-time jobs require only a high school diploma.The recession increased the number of people who wanted to work full time but could find only part-time work.

I do not think there is a perfect way to analyze the salaries, its all matters on the need of company and your skills and abilities.
