5:02 pm
that means that people work full-time and part-time. that's not good. >> not the ball. if you look beyond those, the people who are part-time want to be full-time. this is yet another jobs report that suggests that we are in this new normal. it has become a cliche, but it is because it's true. once again they say, we are adding jobs, making progress, but not quite there yet. you can really go back and substitute today's statement out of the white house with the statement for virtually any jobs report we have had in the past four and a half years. it's not good, and we are making progress. melissa: 77% of the jobs created this year are part-time. that's terrible. >> part of it is obamacare. it's not just a mandate to cover everybody. but rather, the increaaed coverage requirements which are driving of the cost of group policies. it's just much easier than a part-time workers. other things going on, the shift
5:03 pm
toward the service sector, more restaurant jobs, bartenders, low-wage jobs. not only do they not pay well, they're easily chopped up into 20 and 34 units. the streets of new york yesterday, big demonstrations about $15 an hour for mcdonald's workers and things like that. we could talk about the merits of what they should be paid, but the very militant unions, it's much easier to keep the union out. if you have lots of part-time workers and full-time managers and shovel them in and out of law. melissa: is that how you change the political message or focus? instead of focusing on the fact that all we're doing is creating part-time jobs, you instead make those employers the villain in state, while. %-wage. only paying minimum we have to increase the minimum wage or double their pay. do you change the conversation from the fact we're only creating terrible jobs to putting the finger at someone else? >> certainly assure the white house that is the strategy. we have seen the men ploy that strategy at various times.
5:04 pm
going back before the election, certainly throughout the election and after. that is what the white house has tried to do is point the finger at either greedy corporations, businesses without defining what business meant, the evil republicans in congress. there is no question the white house has done everything they can to point the blame everywhere else but back at them and to a acknowledged that some of their policies just have not worked. as peter points out, the policies have been counterproductive, particularly with respect to obamacare which is having a huge impact on these numbers and part-time. melissa: my concern is, there was a new study is said that 36 percent of young adults are still living at home because they can't afford to move out. it feels like we are falling so far behind now. year-over-year as we have this week recovery. how do we catch up again? >> we have to start having pro-growth policies.
5:05 pm
the list of standard. you do something about trade with china, so when manufacture more. we need to develop offshore oil and gas so that we can become and should become energy independent and do those two things together. over the next five years on top of the jobs are your creating commodity another 5 million jobs when need to have him if he is certainly there are areas where it is required, but we have the chemical fire in texas and immediately the president says : 90 day review from the federal agencies about new regulations. maybe the regulators that were supposed to be watching those chemical plants were not doing their jobs. it never crosses mind. all this regulation is expensive. they add up for reason. >> franchise friday. at this point when you see the terrible jobs that are being created by the larger economy, to a certain extent you have to take your fated to our own hands . melissa: find your own way out.
5:06 pm
i mean, maybe is this possibly what it is coming to an america, the you really have to look for your own solution at this point because things are not getting better coming from washington? your thoughts? >> i think that's right. particularly if you get a recent college graduates. good degrees and would like to get good, well paying jobs and i just unable to, or people who were laid off and the great recession and its aftermath and are unable to get jobs that pay what they were making before they were laid off. as a result they the kind of people you would look to the start franchises to my take -- chart their own path. the problem is there are so many disincentives built-in to our current economy. i think many of them coming from washington, it is not exactly a great time to be an entrepreneur he. melissa: it is tough, and a lot of people that follows on-line said you have to be careful not to have anybody work more than 29 hours or have more than 49 employees if you start your own
