Fresh off a Philadelphia Fed survey of manufacturers finding that the Affordable Care Act is acting as a drag on hiring and increasing part-time employment, a Dallas Fed survey finds the much same thing.
Like the Philly Fed survey, it was tacked on to an existing monthly survey of conditions. In this case, a net 23.5% of respondents say the number of workers employed is lower due to the effects of what’s commonly called Obamacare. Part-time work is up, the amount of work outsourced is up, wages and salary compensation per worker is down, other benefits are down, and prices charged are higher.

Once Obamacare was discussed and it looked like it was about to be passed - and the loophole was found - being part-time workers -- things changed for the working class of the US...

Good chart showing the effect of Part-Time Obama, and the increase in part-time employment.

Did they have to sign an affidavit stating that Obamacare has had nothing to do with their hiring decisions “or else”?

I disagree.
It has nothing to do about companies refusing to employ people due to Obamascare.
Or too much red tape.
Or too much taxation.
Or too much overhead.
Or other countries producing needed products at a lower cost.
These things are irrelevant.
Nobody is just talking about jobs. Move your lips now.
The GOP has to talk about jobs.
Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs Jobs.
Bring back jobs now. Just sayin'. /s

Robots don't need ObamaCare. Or do they?
