So why even have a . Because it makes some people feel good . Should betting on sports be allowed . Never. It encourages people to spend money. I really think that this is a fundamental moral issue and you have to make a stand here, even as i am standing now. It causes people to lose control. Patrick basham says chill out. He says g
People are taking them economically not because they want to work part time. Its entirely different. Thats not what we are seeing. Health care and payroll taxes, employers dont want to take on more fulltime employees right now. Unfortunately, that will hurt us down the road. How do you see this trend . There is good news in the jobs report. There some bad news. Particularly this parttime issue. There is actually an equal number of folks who involuntarily got parttime jobs in equal to the numbers that voluntarily got parttime jobs. A number of those are due to the fact theyre no longer blocked into jobs because of health care. Thank obamacare.
