This shift is also due to the general economic confusion in the market due to Obama's effect on the economy.
I am regularly told that if the economic outlook were good, employers might add on full time people, but Obama's war on free enterprise has everyone rattled and unsure of the future. Hence...part-time and contract work is the way to go.
Why not change the Headline from “Is Obama care responsible” to: Is Obama responsible.
Is that easier to fathom.
Damned right he is.
When the two part-time jobs total 58 hours to replace the lost earning from the job which was only 40 hours, he is making Americans more industrious.
Now, all together:
In my day, I was the classic Entrepreneur.. The phrase.. “in the day”, refers to a time in this country’s past that allowed the average guy that had an idea, rented a store front, and posted a sign, you were in business..
Yes, there were permits, and name ID’s, not to mention, enough money to survive, but starting the ball rolling was nothing more than a creative mind and the courage to challenge yourself..
Not all of us survived, of course, but the last thing that disrupted your dream was the government.. I funded my first venture with less than $1000, which included all necessary furniture, fixtures, and equipment, all second hand, and the total fees for registering the venture was less than $100..
No so today.. I know, up front and in reality.. Our society has allowed the city, state, and federal governments to use the small and large business taxes and requirements to fund their destructive agendas..
My last new business, 11 years ago, required $40,000 just to acquire the necessary ground work, licenses, and permits to open a quality restaurant.. My first business lease, was a single page.. Not a dime of that money was used to design, furnish, or hire a single person..
My last lease was 30 pages, with a law firm, and CPA, needed to read it, with 2 months of negotiations between lawyers, realtors, and tax accountants..
I would not, or probably could not start over again, but 2800 employees would have never had a life long income, and upwardly mobile careers.. Pity, really... :(
How reliable is the data, or are they doing tricks like the BLS and Obama are doing with the unemployment numbers.... Ie, making people magically disappear.

I have a small business that is finally off the ground. I’m starting to think about the need for employees. Right now, I will only consider part-time. It’s my biggest business concern, along with tax preparation. The worst thing is the free-floating fear of random acts of government.
