    In my area the job market has been bad for a couple of years. It’s getting way worse now though. It’s frustrating how the media never talks about how post 2008 the job market forced large portions of people into underemployment and low pay

      The excuse I always heard was the affordable care act made it to expensive for companies to keep most workers 40 hours a week. All my friends in the service industry went from one full time job, to 3 part time jobs. Worse hours and pay.
