Though the Associated Press is now basically admitting it, we all knew it. Obamacare's 30-hours-per-week definition of a "full-time employee" for employer health insurance coverage purposes has been responsible for one of the fundamentally negative changes in the American workforce — a noticeable move away from full-time to part-time employment.
In a report with a current Saturday morning time stamp at the AP's national web site which originally went up on Friday, the wire service's Christopher Rugaber and Josh Boak covered the "new normal" in the job market. This writeup will receive yours truly's fuller attention later. But for now, I must note that the pair's report largely abandoned the AP's and the establishment press's years of near denial:
"... the generally improving job market still bears traits that have long been regarded as weaknesses. Among them:
"... The number of part-timers who would prefer full-time work remains high.
"About 6.5 million workers are working part time but want full-time jobs, up from 4.6 million before the recession began. This is partly a reflection of tepid economic growth.

It’s like they whitewash and whitewash but eventually the whitewash just can’t cover the truth.
Open and shut RICO case. Millions of Americans can prove financial harm resulting from a criminal conspiracy between the Dems and the AP. They knowingly defrauded Americans when plenty of evidence from noted economists predicted exactly this. The AP reporters are on public record of being summoned to and having attended Obama events for the media that were specifically intended to get the media to promote the fraud.
All MSM outlets are complicit as co conspirators and the GOP is an accessory after the fact via 3 times funding of the pyramid scheme across state lines.

No excuse for this one.
They knew it was in there before they passed it.
Duh, ya think (this nothing new)?
