It's indicative of the last jobs report that showed job creation. But fulltime jobs were just supplanted with more part time jobs as a result of ObamaCrap. Helicopter Ben will keep the market flying high, though.
It's only a level playing field in theory. But company A knows that company B will try to maximize profit. When company A learns that company B is moving people to part time to avoid OBamacare, company B does it too. There's only so much margin. Rising costs, competition, government. All these are becoming more hostile to business. If there is a way for them to get another nickle, they'll do it.
