(HealthNewsDigest.com) – As the government shutdown continues and the division regarding Obamacare deepens, questions regarding the program are coming under fire now more than ever. One of the biggest question marks is how the Affordable Care Act is affecting employment as recent reports have suggested that nearly 90 percent of the jobs added in the last year were part-time, and a direct result of Obamacare.
Thomas Moran, CEO of the staffing-firm Addison Group, explains that an increased amount of W2s have been filed through staffing organizations, revealing they are for part-time positions. “Not every company has the capacity to dedicate time and efforts to lengthy hiring processes and the overhaul of paperwork from Obamacare has only contributed to that dilemma,” says Moran. “New requirements and regulations has companies reevaluating the types of employees they are looking to hire.”
The clause in question requires large employers to offer a minimum level of health insurance for employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Moran adds that this has all types of businesses modifying their employment structure by cutting hours as a means to control costs. “As a result, companies are turning to staffing firms to find employees willing to work strict 29 hour work weeks,” says Moran.
