The Patriot Post® · BO's Illinois Loses 66K Jobs

According to the Washington Free Beacon, “The Illinois Policy Institute studied the three employment sectors – retail, food, and merchandise – whose average hours were closest to 30 hours per week prior to the Affordable Care Act. The institute found that all three have now dipped below 30 hours per week, the threshold for a full-time worker under the law. Average hours for these sectors had remained steadily above 30 before Obamacare was enacted. ‘Since 2011, Illinois has lost the equivalent of about 66,000 jobs in these sectors through reduced work hours – more than the number of jobs added in all sectors over the past year,’ the study said.” Some kind of “Affordable” Care Act!
