A few weeks ago, I had to take a minimum-wage seasonal job (which, the job market still being what it is, is now my minimum-wage non-seasonal job). This week, my co-workers and I learned that we’re all going to be cut to part time, to comply with the Affordable Care Act.
The new law will require my employer to provide health insurance for any employees who work more than 29 hours a week. Employers who can’t afford to pay more money for the same amount of work will instead have to cut employees’ hours. Our former, mutually beneficial arrangements with our employer will now be against the law.
Enjoyment and Contemplation
