Whether or not Obamacare is resulting in a net-increase in part-time work isn't something I alleged (and it's hard to prove in an economy as fluid as the U.S.'s right now), but it's undisputed that there are employers cutting hours because of Obamacare.
Actually it is disputed, in that article by the LA Times and the article from the Wall Street Journal. Employers cutting hours because of Obamacare is a right wing talking point myth because we now have facts and data instead of just random anecdotes dug up by the likes of Sean Hannity.
My employer cut our hours for that reason. It's not just some random anecdote.
You work for one of the 5% of large employers that doesn't provide health insurance? And instead of providing it, your employer is just going to cut everyone's hours? I'm sorry for you, but your employer sounds like a dick.
More importantly, ytf is your employer cutting hours now to comply with a rule that doesn't go into effect for more than 14 months? Sounds like your employer is cutting hours for his own profit and just blaming it on Obamacare.
Yeah, thiinking about it more it sounds like an excuse.
But overall hours worked haven't decreased.

How can you say it is "undisputed"? I have heard this disputed endlessly.
I mean... you can dispute it, but I've given you an objective first-hand example. If someone's going to dispute that, they're ignoring facts.
Again, why is he cutting your hours now because of a law that won't even go into effect for 14 more months? You should really ask him.
And in any case, the employer mandate should have a relatively small impact because most employers were already providing healthcare, even if not required to by law.
