Of course a lot of employers have switched some of their jobs to part time as things were forced upon them. You can't get blood out of a turnip. For profit businesses keep the economy alive. I can't get over all the folks who haven't worked for a for profit business.
First, in the past I was chastised for making a post directed at anyone else, but since you asked...Second, you are kidding , right? You need to put things in context and be honest about it. You know I'm talking about the ratio of part time workers having increased, look at the villages. And while that happens here within industry, the numbers of foreign workers working for less than peanuts has increased, and the there is the little offshore tax issue, you know where the corporations keep the money overseas where they can avoid their fair share of income tax. My points are directed specifically at the companies exploiting the employees and are subsidized with tax breaks. I could go on but you wouldn't listen.
