One in 6 new jobs in New Jersey are for temp work

It's an Obama World, we just live with the consequences.

What's the little-known fact about roughly one out of six of the private-sector jobs added in New Jersey last year?

They won't last. Employment in the temporary job market accounted for around 15 percent to 22 percent of the gains in the state's private sector last year, according to a Star-Ledger analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the state Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

Experts say New Jersey employers are hiring more temp workers because of the state's sluggish recovery from the recession. The state's economy has grown slower than the national average, while its overall unemployment rate has stayed higher. One of the few bright spots has been in temp help, which has gained back all the jobs it lost, and then some.

"Right now, employers are looking to date. They're not looking to get married," said Patrick O'Keefe, a former deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Labor and now director of economic research at CohnReznick in Roseland.

Gee, I wonder what would prompt employers to refrain from hiring full-time workers? Oh, right, Obamacare. It exempts part-timers and temp workers from its mandates and penalties. Add in Dear Leader's socialist tax policies, which punish small business owners via an effective tax rate in excess of 50%, and even a blind man could see why hiring temp workers is the only way to go.

Government has priced full-time employees out of the job market.

But hey, the unemployment rate is down! And Obama gets to claim the credit! Woo Hoo! Can you feel the Hope and Change yet?
