Obamacare Is Turning Walmart Workers Into Temps
21st June 2013
My, what a surprise! Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) opponents warned it would happen, but now there’s mounting proof that full-time employees are being replaced with part-timers, at least in the retail industry where Walmart is focused on keeping the majority of workers to part-time hours only.
A new hiring policy uncovered by Reuters shows that nearly half of its stores are only hiring part-time employees, thus avoiding the mandate to provide health care or pay a fine.
Markets work, even when you don’t want them to.
