I would think that would keep salaries/wages down. "Oh I can pay you $20,000 and you'll be "full time"? Let's do that instead of $30,000!"

Let's do that instead of $30,000!"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure why we need the distinction between full-time and part-time workers. Could you enlighten me?
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) does not specify the requirements for a full time employee, leaving the matter to employers
the Bureau of Labor Statistics defines full time as 35 or more hours a week, but this is just for statistical purposes, and is not a law. Many employers require fewer hours for full time status, such as 35, 32, or even 30 hours
part time employees typically don't receivePaid time off, such as vacations or holidaysEmployee benefits such as health insuranceAnd part time employees are often excluded from participation in employer retirement plans.
Why do we measure "full-time" employment by hours worked per week?
