"With regard to Obamacare and part-time employment, the surge in part-time employment was triggered by the recession, not by the Affordable Care Act, as the next chart clearly illustrates."
---------------------------------------------------------
After studying the issue since 2010 we first began to express doubts about the meme that ObamaCare part-timed the country in July of 2013, here.
In August 2013 here we realized a part-timing trend, to be real, would have to show up in the hours data and wasn't.
By September 2013 here we were calling the meme a myth, and here we identified the part-time statistics as incapable of capturing such a trend due to the high bar set by the government definition of part-time as less than 35 hours worked.
In October 2013 here we blamed the part-time explosion on the recession.
In February 2014 we noted here that The Atlantic had finally caught on.
Mish started to catch on in September 2014, here.
Now Doug Short joins the party.
Hooray.
I still want my Pulitzer.
