>> And yet the average work week has remained fairly static for months now. >> The Obama administration is saying that these complaints of companies going to part time employment to avoid Obamacare is more anecdotal than empirical. If they are wrong or worse, misleading the public, wouldn't the average work week become shorter? The White House is using a little statistical time-shifting here. Most of the announced hours cutbacks had not gone into effect when the compliance deadline was illegally extended. For example, Forever 21 announced its transition to part-time was effective August 31. Community College of Allegheny County cut hours for 200 people effective December 31. Even Darden was only doing trial runs in a couple of cities. The cuts are coming; but they're not going to be reflected in statistics until they actually happen. Still, you can't ignore the fact that hundreds of organizations have announced cuts. Now, it is true that many of them are unwilling to come out and flatly blame Obamacare, as they don't want to deal with a backlash. But it is what it is.
