<Or maybe Mr. Corp America doesn't pay their employees enough because the unemployment rate has been high ever since we went thru Bush's Great Recession and even as their profit margins have improved markedly. < Did you know state owned institutions of academia, are not immune? MSNBC reported. Colleges roll back faculty hours in response to Obamacare Is state-owned institutions of high learning "Mr. Corp. America"? Am I also a "shill" for State- Owned University Systems? So here is some "shop math" for you. Please explain the "financial incentive" a Mr. Corp. America, can achieve by hiring more part-time workers, who they employ less than 30 hours a week, instead of less than 40 hours a week? Is it cheaper to hire 3 people that work 38 hours a week each, or six people that work 19 hours a week each More people, more paperwork, more payroll fees, more training, more management logistics. You are saying that Mr. Corp. America is achieving greater profits my hiring twice the number of people at less than 30 hours, than could be achieved at less than 40 hours. If so, then why has Mr. Crop. America been pleading to return "Full Time to more than 40 hours"?? 18 Democrats join GOP to restore 40-hour work week under Obamacare I mean if Mr. Corp. America is making tons more money using these sub-30 hour part-time workers, then why would they want to go back to a 40 hour measurement point? I realize these are difficult questions for you to come up with an answer too. It is reported we have 8MM illegals working in the US, maybe that is part of the root cause of the supply / Demand curve on the employment front?

More shop math. Let's say this unfortunate young lady that passed away in her car is now forced to work two four hour shifts, because the employers don't hire "full-time employees" due to the extraneous costs of Federal Regulations. So she receives a base salary of $8 an hour and make $64 over the two shifts at two different business locations. So she works 4 hours from 10am - 2PM at one job, and the other job she can only get a dinner shift from 5PM -9PM. So she works 8 hours in a day, but in effect is working an 11 hour day due to the 3 hour lapse between jobs. She takes a nap in her car between the two jobs. Now, if we moved her to a 39 hour work week at a single employer, making $8 an hour she would make the same $64 in the 8 hour shift, but she would get off work at 6:30PM instead of 9PM. (So she wouldn't need to take that nap) If we paid her $12 an hour, she would make $48 in only one 4 hour shift, but she still would not make as much as working 2 four hour shifts at $8. So even though you increased her pay. She still has to work two jobs to make the $64. So there is still the cost of the commute, and idle time between jobs. I don't think it is Mr. Corp America that is to blame here. PCSTEL
