The PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) created incentives for firms to reduce workers to part-time status. This is because the law required employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees to offer affordable health insurance coverage to their full-time employees (those working 30 hours per week or more) or face penalties. As a result, some firms chose to reduce the number of full-time employees and rely more heavily on part-time employees to avoid these penalties.
