Obamacare impact: Cutting hours, going part time
El Paso Inc. ^ | 1/19/14 | David Crowder

**SNIP**

Many of his students who work to pay for their education and living expenses are complaining about being cut to 28 hours.

“They’re saying they couldn’t pay their bills at 40 hours, so now they’re having to get a second job,” Diaz said. “That is the new trend.”

But it’s not just restaurant workers and sales clerks who are feeling the squeeze.

Universities and community colleges that rely heavily on part-time faculty have had to make the hard choice of cutting the number of classes they teach because the schools can’t afford to offer them health insurance.

Normal/standard working Hours have been reduced since the 1800’s. Perhaps it’s just more progressive progress.

The better to make them all give up and go on welfare, food stamps, SSDI, Worker’s Comp, Medicaid and etc.

No, it’s vastly different now Paladin..I’ve worked retail a long time and what’s happening now is truly a zoo for people trying to even get by.

Retail is even cutting ‘part-time’ hours...Some with just eight hours weekly....others with four....and full-timers down to the minimal...I think 27 or 30 is that and can still be called full-time.

Of course this is done naturally after Christmas...but not this soon nor to this degree.

According to Bamster, none of this matters, because some people got coverage that they didn’t have before. Everyone who suffered as a result is just collateral damage to him.

And what happens after that money runs out?

All the thieves in government who stole America blind get to sit back on their fat wallets for a few years.

Until they realize the people they put out of work were the ones that were the same people that were financing their very existance.

Then what happens?

Look at the bright side. It’s obviously improving the unemployment stats. Which I predicted when the whole concept of “Obamacare 29ers” was first explained.

The real reason unemployment is dropping. Someone working 29 hours doesn’t show up in unemployment Companies are hiring 2 people for what used to be one, but each work half time.

I know a 5 or 6 of these adjunct ‘professors’ ... all have had their (already part time)hours cut further ... all big Obama supporters.

They do not see the connection.

The ones I know all blame the insurance companies.
