Is Obamacare Pushing People Into Part-Time Work?
7th August 2013
Hint: Yes.
What appears to be happening, in other words, is a threshold effect. People hovering around the borderline—just above 30 hours—are seeing their hours capped. And new positions that might have offered 32 or 34 hours of work in the past are being created as 25-29 hour a week jobs.
And Obamanomics is good with that: It creates more people dependent on government benefits, in one form or another, to survive — and that means more votes for the Party of Government Benefits, the Democrats.
The President is a lot smarter than you think.
