75% of Jobs, Partime & Low Pay

WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) - U.S. businesses are hiring at a robust rate. The only problem is that three out of four of the nearly 1 million hires this year are part-time and many of the jobs are low-paid.

Faltering economic growth at home and abroad and concern that President Barack Obama's signature health care law will drive up business costs are behind the wariness about taking on full-time staff, executives at staffing and payroll firms say.

75 Percent Of Jobs Created This Year Were Part-Time Due To Weak Economy, Obamacare Concerns

Obamacare has nothing to do with part-time jobs. The number of workers who had their hours cut since Obamacare was signed into law DECREASED by 1.12 million.

Most of the new part-time jobs are people who only want to work part-time. Only 33% of the new jobs this year were people who took part-time work because full-time was not available. The reason for so many people who only want part-time work is the aging Boomers cutting back their hours after reaching retirement age.

Read the Health Care Law.
It turned the 40 hr. work week into a 30 hr. work week.

Not really. It just calls full time 30 hours instead of 35 hours as it currently is. They should have made it 20 hours or even less.

RICHARD TRUMKA, PRESIDENT AFL-CIO: The Affordable Care Act does need some modifications to it, because as it does right now, what's happening is, you have employers that the law says if you pay your, if your employees work 30 hours or more a week, you've got to give them healthcare. So they're restructuring their workforce to give workers 29 and a half hours so they don't have to provide them healthcare. They’re also doing some taxing to nonprofit plans to pay for for-profit plans.

Swamp Gas Alert...

Brilliant reply! ....NOT

The fact remains that the number of workers who are working part-time because their hours were reduced has gone DOWN by 1.12 million since Obamacare was passed. So much for the bullshit that employers are cutting their full-time workers to part-time because of Obamacare.

And if 40 hours was full-time then they could cut it to 39.5 hours.

The fact remains, the number of workers who are working part-time because their hours were cut back has gone DOWN by 1.12 million since Obamacare was signed into law.

Do you have a link to that 1.12 million?
I have a link that says more jobs are part time.

https://www.mauldineconomics.com/frontlinethoughts/a-lost-generation

My source is exactly the same as your link's, the Household Survey. Your source didn't link to it so why should I since you didn't question it when your source used it?!!!

The difference between our numbers is, your source dishonestly used people who only want to work part-time and people who could only find part-time work as people who had their hours cut because of Obamacare. I used the more honest number of people who actually had their hours reduced, which is reported in the Household Survey so your source has no excuse for not using it except to deliberately deceive.

Table A-8. Employed persons by class of worker and part-time status

Check off the box "Slack work or business conditions" seasonally adjusted. Obamacare became law the end of March 2010, do the numbers yourself and you will see that there are 1.12 million fewer workers today who are working part-time because their hours were cut.

How exactly is showing the claim that Obamacare is causing employers to cut workers hours is bullshit by showing that the number of workers who had their hours cut since Obamacare was signed into law has gone DOWN by 1.12 million workers changing the subject????? If your bullshit were true the number would have gone up, not DOWN!!!!!

My thread clearly stated that 75% of the new jobs are part-time and low pay.

How would the statistics quoted hold up to the 35 or 40 hr work week standard instead of the necessarily bogus and redefined Obama-care 30 hr. work week?

And your OP also brings up Obamacare.

And the BLS numbers your OP and I cited are based on full-time equaling 35 hours.

 

[Supposn]

Lumpy 1, to, significantly increase our numbers of jobs, median wage and GDP with no net increase of our federal budget expenditures:

(1) On the 4th of July, 2014 begin increasing the federal minimum wage rate by a half dollar and every half year until February 1, 2017 AND ADDITIONALLY, similar to social security retirement payments, beginning the 4th of July pegging the minimum rate to the cost of living index on readjust the minimum rate every New Year’s day thereafter.

(2) Enact the transferable Import Certificate proposal.

You continue to frustrate the poor ignorant con tools posting stupid numbers from partial sources. Funny how angry they get when you rub their noses in a little truth.
They believe their "facts" because they want to believe their facts. Actual impartial numbers be damned, they WANT to believe what they want to believe. And you getting in the way of that makes them all pissy. Happens every time.

Actually, you're both correct, just using different time frames.
Ed starts in 2010 while Lumpy clearly states this year, 2013.

PolitiFact | The truth(s) behind part-time jobs and the recovery

In one item, we checked a claim made by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, in a response to one of Obama’s Saturday radio addresses.
"In the past, most new jobs were full time, but, this year, the overwhelming majority of new jobs are part time," Collins said. "Under this troubling trend, more workers will find their hours and their earnings reduced. Jobs will be lost.
PolitiFact | Susan Collins says this year, 'overwhelming majority' of new jobs are part time

The other comment we checked was made by Alan Krueger, the chairman of Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers, during an interview with Sara Eisen of Bloomberg television.
Eisen asked Krueger whether we’re "creating a part-time economy. The news is filled with stories of small businesses and colleges cutting back worker's hours or putting a freeze on hiring."
He responded, "I think that's highly misleading. Since the Affordable Care Act passed, 90 percent of job growth has been in full-time positions."

PolitiFact | Alan Krueger, top economist to Obama, says most new jobs since health care law passed are full time

Two diametrically opposed statements. Yet both turned out to be correct.

For Collins, we looked at the change in full-time and part-time employment between December 2012 and July 2013, then determined which of the two types of employment accounted for a larger share of the increase in overall employment. And she was right: 77 percent of the increase in employment over this period came from part-time jobs.

But if you take a longer view, the picture changes.

To check Krueger’s claim, we looked at the same data for the period between March 2010 and July 2013. It turns out that Krueger was right -- 87 percent of the increase in employment over this period came from full-time jobs.
