Speaking as a small employer, I would rather have a root canal than another employee.
Let’s see. You first have to hire someone you trust without some labor lawyer suing you for some type of discrimination.
Then you have OSHA to make sure your work place is safe. Then you have workman's compensation insurance, unemployment taxes, health insurance, liability insurance, now Obamacare.
Oh be careful not to be deemed to have a “hostile work environment”. Then you have to negotiate the labor laws. The Department of Labor is constantly cranking out regulation.
Then you get the pleasure of paying payroll taxes both state and federal along with the required filing of a multitude of payroll forms. Miss filing or paying these taxes and you will be crushed with interest and penalties.
Of course, you are competing with businesses that can hire at a fraction of the cost of American Labor and with very little regulations. In this economy, no one in their right mind is hiring into this unstable and declining economy.
If business turns down all you have to worry about is laying off workers. Of course your unemployment insurance tax will go up 200% for years. Then you only have to then worry about a wrongful termination law suit.
