I’m not in any way saying Obamacare caused these results, but they certainly do fly in the face of the “Obamacare is causing everyone to push employees into part time jobs” meme:
Y'know the meme that Obamacare has led to part-time jobs?
Over the past year, we've created 1640k full-time jobs & lost 287k part-time jobs

The +691K full-time jobs and -594K part-time suggests talk of Obamacare creating a "part-time" work force was wrong.
