I predict that this situation will quickly change under a re-elected Obama. As a seasonal tax preparer, I KNOW that there is already a computation in the tax code that renders up a "Full Time Equivalent" (FTE) which is currently used for computing tax credits. It is roughly done by adding all hours worked by employees and then dividing that by a full-time hour count of 2,080 hours (52 weeks of 40 hours).

So, hiring a lot of part-time workers would not mitigate the ObamaCare employment rates if this change were to be matched to existing tax code. Anybody care to challenge that an intrusive government would not take such a path?

Yep, they’ll just hire ‘seasonals’, and ‘part-timers’. They’ll work us for 40 hours a week for 9 months and then give us 14 weeks off every year.

Already been doing this for years until I got my present position, which is also not full time but isn’t seasonal.

Thanks Obama for making life suck even harder for young people.
