No, Obamacare isn’t killing full-time jobs

[hcap]

"Analysts at ADP studied the payrolls of the firms' clients, about 75,000 U.S. firms and organizations. They expected that as businesses prepared for the mandate to take effect, they would adjust their employees' schedules, limiting them to no more than 30 hours a week. Yet ADP found no overall change in employees' weekly schedules between 2013 and last year.

...ADP's findings were confirmed in another study by Aparna Mathur and Sita Nataraj Slavov of George Mason University and Michael Strain of the conservative American Enterprise Institute.

Their paper, published this month in the journal Applied Economics Letters, uses data from the federal Current Population Survey and finds no statistically significant change in the proportion of part-time workers in the sectors most likely to be affected by Obamacare, such as janitorial and restaurant work."

No matter how strong the evidence to the contrary,
conservatives have it planted in their little pea brains
that the ACA is baaaad. No convincing them about it.

Their reaction to even hearing the term is similar to this:



Truth is, it's here to stay - and it's eventually going to be a national treasure.

The employer mandate was supposed to take effect on Jan. 1, 2014, for companies with over 100 full time employees. That head count was to be determined by the average number of full time employees a company had in 2013. Therefore, any reductions in hours caused by ObamaCare were already in effect before Jan. 1, 2013, and would not be reflected in a comparison of 2013 schedules with those of 2014.

Also, many companies that did not cut hours increased prices or put a surcharge on their products and services to cover their increased costs. There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
