Obamacare Leads Businesses to Cut Hours, Keep Full-Time Staff Below 50: Survey

Health care reform already is leading many businesses to cut workers' hours, hire part-timers or stay below the employer mandate's 50-employee threshold.

That's according to a survey of businesses with 40 to 500 employees conducted by Public Opinion Strategies, and commissioned by the International Franchise Association and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Businesses of this size employ 25 percent of all Americans, the organizations noted.

The survey is significant because it finds that these businesses already are responding to the Affordable Care Act's employer mandate, even though the Obama administration has delayed its implementation until 2015. Read more about the survey at PBJ.com
