    Roadrunner, I am citing a 35 hour work week as fulltime. There are 1 million more working at least 35 hour weeks than in 2007 which was the previous peak.

    What was the standard for fulltime in 2007? Someone alert the media about this 35 hour fulltime work status. Nobody I know allows fulltime benefits for a 35 hour week. They tend to knock both vacation time and retirement benefits down to only 80% for anything less than 40 hours instead of prorating it like they should.

    Please point me to a federal statute that my fiancee' can use to nail her employer for cheating her out of fulltime benefits & vacation pay since she's apparently a "fulltime" employee working 3 x 12 hour shifts plus mandation whenever they can't meet their staffing needs because of poor planning and being understaffed in the first place.

    Since when did 35 hours become "fulltime"? Not anywhere I know of. How many "fulltime" employees are working 2 jobs because they don't want to exceed obamacare's 30 hour insurance mandate? Do they count 2 part time jobs as 2 fulltime jobs now as well?

    As I mentioned, liars figure. End of story.

    Your buddy Obama declared 35 hours a full week in the ACA.

    Personally I work about 60-70, but I like my job. And if I can di it, anyone can.

    Out here in Colorado the economy is doing great and housing is going through the roof.

    Some people have a political agenda to say that things are bad when their party is not in power. The facts and/or truth of the matter do not matter.

    Once upon a time this guy was a yellow jacket studying chemistry and mathematics for pre med.....new math does not negate old math, nor does a new formula negate and old one.

    Obama declared 35 hours a full week in the ACA

    Yeah, and "less is more"

    “On Sunday mornings Squealer, holding down a long strip of paper with his
    trotter, would read out to them lists of figures proving that the production of
    every class of foodstuff had increased by two hundred per cent, three hundred
    per cent, or five hundred per cent, as the case might be. The animals saw
    no reason to disbelieve him, especially as they could no longer remember very
    clearly what conditions had been like before the Rebellion. All the same, there
    were days when they felt that they would sooner have had less figures and more
    food.”

    The transition from meritocracy, to idiocracy continues. I don't think I could vote Cohodk for president if he were running against "Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho."

    It's a precious metal forum. >>



    So, if someone is a jerk to you, you repeat the behavior towards others? This reminds me of high school where upper classmen thought their stuff didn't stink and they had the right to pick on freshman. Two wrongs doesn't make a right. That's a very flawed mentality in my opinion. >>



    So. Your literary style is draw a conclusion from a stranger based upon no facts, your high school experience then agree with yourself?

    I see.
    Have a nice day

    I see you putting out your fair share of homered misinformation. Why is your mouth still open?

    << <i>Golly, all of those 20+ hour a week(thanks to OC), part time jobs sure are fantastic news. Heck, if a person has two of those, and toss in some welfare, maybe they can scrounge and get by. >>



    I found something a tad amusing, but a bit sad about entitlement. Seattle is facing a different problem now that their minimum wage is $15/hr. A new trend starting is many of the full time MW workers are asking for less hours because the new higher pay scale is bumping many of them out of their free child care and food stamps being reduced or stopped. Kind of funny, but sad that people have developed the mentality that food stamps and other freebies are a way of life.

    Those food stamps/freebies for the poor are analogous to tax loopholes for corporations/the rich.
