Retailers are cutting worker hours at a rate not seen in more than three decades — a sudden shift that can only be explained by the onset of ObamaCare's employer mandates.

Folks will have more time now to sit at their 3-D printers and print guns.
If I snag an NEA grant, then I can afford a ticket to your flea circus. Things are looking up already!
That great jobs report....115, 000 of the i65,000...service jobs...have to hire a few more workers at 28 hrs a week...Not one manufacturing job..and loss of construction jobs... 28 hrs a week plus welfare and Obama phone not bad I guess!!!
I also accept SNAP and EBT cards for admittance.
All my fleas are farm raised ,organic, and fair trade certified.
There’ll be a lot of 58 hour/ 2 job people, too, the people trying to get ahead when only 29 hour/week jobs are available. And OT will be history. Likely, many of them will have voted for The One.
Yes they will, and they will be wildly successful at it too.
In the end I don’t think this will work, for one of two reasons.
1)In order to cut everyone’s hours in half you have to double the size of your staff. Not likely to happen in a society overrun with lazy, shiftless pool of candidates out there. Certainly not while having to compete with Obama benes and welfare.
or
2)Fearing the political damage if this continues, Obama will instruct that “the secretary shall” inflict some brutal punishment on a couple of high-profile employers to make examples of them and scare off the rest.
And the unemployment rate drops.
Thank you glorious leader!
-— Colleges and universities are doing the same thing. ——
The college bubble is on the verge of bursting. The actual price of private colleges is now 50% of the sucker price. Or as the newscaster excitedly stated, “colleges are giving lots of financial aid!”
Repeat after me, “Yaaaaay!” Now clap your hands!
Hope for Spare Change
Unexpectedly of course.
Who is John Galt?
We are!
When I had a large staff gave them the option to work four ten hour days instead of five eight hour days. Except for one employee, all chose the four ten hour days, half had Friday off, the other half had Monday. Productivity soared.
Part of each day is always wasted getting organized to get ready to work and then gearing down to get ready to go home. Best change we ever made. Employees loved having three days off and our clients just loved being able to have their needs met on an extended day basis. So it was a win/win for everyone.
Yep, pretty soon we’ll have so many part time jobs we’ll have full employement!
Yes. Part time jobs are counted the same as full time jobs in the employment stats.
If a person has 2 part time jobs, that’s counted as 2 jobs (and as basically as 2 different people being employed).
They could have just looked at Hawaii as a case study.
For decades employers in Hawaii have had to pay for at least half of health insurance premiums for full time employees (defined as 20 hours per week or more). As a result a lot of peole work 2 (or 3) part-time jobs and no employer paid health insuance.
This was a no-brainer.
