While liberals were busy bemoaning the low wages of the minimally skilled hamburger flippers and other fast food employees, while Congress and the unions were busy exempting themselves from the Obamacare they pushed for,, another group of workers was falling victim to the Unaffordable Health Care Act.
Shop girls. Sales clerks.
Forever 21, the privately held fast fashion retailer teen aged girls just lo-o-ove, recently informed many full time employees that beginning Sunday, August 18 they were suddenly part time employees; their maximum working hours dropping to 29.5 hours a week.
Obamacare's mandatory employer provided health insurance kicks in for employees who work a minimum of...30 hours.
How convenient for the company which naturally denies Obamacare inspired the decision; instead because:
"Company-wide, Forever 21 recently audited its staffing levels, staffing needs and payroll in conjunction with reviewing its overall operating budget. As a result, we are reducing a number of full-time non-management positions.
(snip)
Based on our audit, your position will be reclassified as Part-Time.."
Medical coverage of all types will end as will paid time off.

No matter what the Obama supporters will be for him to the bitter end; nothing can convince them otherwise.
Nope, the IRS HATES dealing with 1099s, as they claim that too much income can be "hidden," and it insulates the employer from paying its half of FICA, so it has implemented all sorts of hoops one needs to jump through to be classified as an "independent contractor," which is the reason for 1099s.
In fact, an entire industry grew up to "certify" one as a contractor, rather than an employer.
As an example, which I've posted here before, I used to be a Novell networking instructor, and worked for an education center. Novell contracted with my employer for me to fly out to their Herndon, VA office to teach a class. However, the certification firm that Novell used claimed that I was actually an employee of Novell and not a contractor, since I was using their facilities, computers, and supplies. It was a real nightmare.
RE: No big deal either way.
So, the conclusion is Obamacare will not really cause a huge increase in the under 30 hour workforce?
Rush is on it now.
The POTUS is a full time job. How many hours does he put in a week? Ok, the less time he spends signing EOs, the better.

Imagine the outrage from RATs towards people who've never been in business before
suddenly becoming (A 1%-er). The delusion is that people think anybody owning a business are rich.
And you can bet that the RAT's will use that statistic for their benefit, of increased business'
while at the same time crying foul at the same statistics.
That started with Bush years ago...Private sector wages have been stagnate for nearly 15 years, the dollar has been incrementally devalued for decades...No?
People pretending this all started with Obama are only fooling themselves. Has it gotten worse under Obama...Absolutely...But in sure in hell didn't start declining under Obozo. Open lawless borders....hundreds of thousands of jobs off shored, bank bailouts, devalued dollar, borrowing trillions from the Communist Chinese, corrupt foreign policies which have looted the American treasure to the tune of multiple TRILLIONS. This all happened under Obummer?
Come on....
Even Bush's Dad publicly welcomed in the "New World Order".
The U.S. decline brought to you by world bankers and the well connected super wealthy insiders running the U.S. government, has been going on for *many* years.
