NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Companies have yet another reason not to boost hiring: rising unemployment taxes.

And this is only the first of two tax spikes employers are contending with, on both the state and federal level. Come January, companies in 24 states could have to shell out between $21 and $63 more per employee in federal unemployment taxes.

"Unemployment taxes, which were a relatively low bottom-line cost in 2008, are now becoming a significant cost," Holmes said. "It discourages companies from electing to hire new employees."

2. Oh FFS!

:nopity:

If all of these things truly prevented companies from hiring, then there should be virtually no companies still functioning by now. :banghead: :puke:

Now that the wealthy have all of their money, they seem content to just sit on it and keep it warm and proffer excuses for not spending it to create more jobs. :puke:

If the price of coffee goes up the damn coffee maker is still there!
