Many businesses plan to bring on more part-time workers next year, trim the hours of full-time employees or curtail hiring because of the new health care law, human resource firms say.
Their actions could further dampen job growth, which already is threatened by possible federal budget cutbacks resulting from the tax increases and spending cuts known as the fiscal cliff.
"It will have a negative impact on job creation" in 2013, says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics
Businesses looking for any excuse to cut benefits: Obama's fault.
So, a s they have been hiring less full time workers and hiring more art time
workers since long befriend Obama, it will now be the fault of health care reform? I assume those who have owing this all along can e trusted to tell us this is he reason?
Yeah,I'm convinced. :coffeepap
People such as yourself can't be convinced bedause youv'e mistaken your partisan ideology for the truth.
Swapped them like a set of bad sparplugs.
If you cant see the massive amount of damage already done by just the threat of implementation of that disastrous law, if youv'e elected to keep your eyes and ears shut and ignore the millions of Anericans who have been struggling since his first election then nothing will convince you.
Honestly, the prerequisite of the liberal idelogy is that you have to be ignorant. I mean forget burning books, you guys refuse to acknowledge their existence.
You went from blaming Bush to blaming the rich and now the Corporations and bussinesses that fuel our economy.
Unbelievable.
Wake the "F" up. You guys elected....TWICE...the least qualified ex-stoner candidate who came into office with a anti-America chip on his shoulder.
He's not trying to repair anything and has been trying to force our collapse for four years.
And his attempts have been at the expense of the middle class, not the rich you people blame your miserable lives on.
People have to wait and see how it affects premiums. IF they go up, full-time employment will go down. If they go down, full-time employment will go up. It is just a wait and see at this point, but what I expect is for premiums to start to skyrocket, requiring further government regulation.
They were. Key rocketing before reform. How will we know what the cause is?
It doesn't matter what the cause is. Healthcare is a huge burden on employers. If the rates go up because of a shortage of Band-Aids, it has the same effect on employment as the same raise in rates because of Obamacare.
Employers will use any excuse they can get away with. However, if we were concerned about the effects of healthcare on business, we would remove it from employment and go with UHC.
I have no problem with a proper UHC system but I think you underestimate the role of investors not accepting excuses than companies making them.
Don't see much difference between the two. Both for get workers are a large part of a companies success or failure.
because IMHO the demands of mutual funds (i.e. workers' retirement plans) and insurance companies on traded companies to create maximum revenue via dividends to have the cash to send out those checks is placing a burden on companies that discourages capital investments to create new jobs at least in the US. For instance, the mutual fund managers are not willing to wait 5 years for you to start realizing additional revenue streams on a new US factory because they have checks to mail out during that period and not everybody waits until retirement to dip into their retirement accounts for life's unexpected emergencies and transient wants; and insurance companies need cash to pay for the big dents in your $60K car. Wall Street IMO is raiding the equity we have so they sure as hell will not wait for new equity to be built, new jobs created, and reduced profits than if the company sent the job to a tin shed in China today.
employers are not health care providers. health insurance should be unlinked from specific employment as quickly as possible.
Yes! A competitive market for individuals to shop and find the best policy that suits them.
AKA, the antithesis of socialized medicine.

Its always the same with you progressive Marxists
Businesses have 'evil motives'. Everyone doesn't 'care' except Obama and the democrats. Obama's intentions are as pure as the wind driven snow or something
Cult like behavior from worshipers. Not reasonable people. You've traded God for Obama and Big Government
That's a different measure. I know some for example working two part time jobs for he same place. She works more than 40 hours, but is part time. An increase in hours, but not benefits or overtime.No, weekly hours worked has been going up since the end of 2009. The idea that it has been going down since before Obama is false.
