WSJ: More Part-Time Jobs With Obamacare
by Eugene McElroy 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management *** * * Title: More Part-Time Jobs With Obamacare *Source:* Wall Street Journal *Author*: * Gene Epstein* Date: Sept 16, 2013 *Abstract:* Most full-time workers get medical-insurance benefits in their pay package; most part-time workers don't. But early next year, under the Affordable Care Act, part-timers will be eligible for medical benefits that rival those of full-timers. And as a direct result, predicts University of Chicago economics professor Casey Mulligan, the ACA will create a new set of incentives that will boost the share of workers employed part time, probably by quite a lot.

NYT: Subsidizing Spouses

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management *** * * Title: Subsidizing Spouses *Source:* NY Times *Author*: * Nancy Folbre* Date: Sept 16, 2013 *Abstract:* The federal tax code and Social Security both contain provisions that subsidize marriage if one spouse refrains from paid employment. Critics of such provisions<http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2013/04/14/improving-on-the-tax-codes-…>have long noted that they discourage married women’s participation in the labor force. They may have a similar effect on married men, especially given recent increases in the percentage of married mothers who earn more than their husbands<http://familyinequality.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/more-married-mothers-earn-…>(more than 23 percent in 2011).

Are Robots Taking Our Jobs, or Making Them?
by SMLR Library 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management *** * * *Title: ** *Are Robots Taking Our Jobs, or Making Them? *Source:* Stuart Basefsky *Author*: * Ben Miller and Robert D. Adkinson* Date: Sept 11, 2013 *Abstract:* This report analyzes the “robots are killing our jobs” arguments, shows how they are constructed on faulty analysis, examines the extensive economic literature on the relationship between employment and productivity, and explains the logic of how higher productivity leads to more jobs. We show that more technology benefits not just the economy overall, but also workers: more and better technology is essential to U.S. competitiveness and higher living standards. The claim that increased productivity eliminates jobs is misguided speculation.

In California, Stronger Workers’ Rights The California Senate on Wednesday passed a bill to extend basic rights to an overlooked segment of the labor force: domestic workers, mostly immigrant women, who toil in private homes without the protection of most labor laws. http://nyti.ms/161y3sc Mismanagement and Death in a Coal Mine For the sake of coal miners’ lives and livelihood, it is heartening that the federal investigation into the West Virginia disaster<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/29/us/ex-official-is-charged-after-deaths-at…>that killed 29 men in 2010 continues forward. http://nyti.ms/17vW0e3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene McElroy, Library Associate James Carey Library, School of Management and Labor Relations Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey 50 Labor Center Way, New Brunswick NJ 08901 848-932-9513 smlrlibrary(a)work.rutgers.edu http://smlr.rutgers.edu/carey-library
