Did you think it couldn't get any worse?

Basic summary:

- IRS defines full-time as working more than 30+ hours
- employers will balance hiring/training costs of more part-time workers VS. the savings of not having to pay for health insurance of full time workers.
- part timers will have reduced income unless they pick up a second job and will have reduced incentive to work at all
- Many restaurants are already looking at how to shift to part-time workers

My daughter has a 29.5 hour per week job. She'd like 40 or even 50 if she could find it. So she's looking for another part-time job. Most of her co-workers are in exactly the same situation, though their hours per week may be 20 or 25.

In today's labor market, employers where workers have a regular 29.5 hours per week aren't really fond of being flexible enough on their hours to accommodate another part-time job.
