Almost half of Americans work in low-wage jobs

America's unemployment rate is at a half-century low, but it also has a job-quality problem that affects nearly half the population, with a study finding 44% of U.S. workers are employed in low-wage jobs that pay median annual wages of $18,000.

Contrary to popular opinion, these workers aren't teenagers or young adults just starting their careers,

Your desperation is duly noted!

Which means, MORE THAN HALF of Americans are in HIGH PAYING JOBS!

Medium to high. There are 3 categories.

Remember that 80 grand a year represents lower middle to lower class income.

Yeah, the obummer economy caused millions to lose their full time jobs, and now, thanks to Trump, that terrible situation is being reversed.

Of course obummer, your hero, had 8 years to fuck this country up. Trump has only had three years to correct that mess.

Still waiting on that data you promised in the other thread...whenever you find the time

Interesting.

One question.

Is that higher, lower, or about the same as previous presidents?

According to the US dept. of Labor, the wage level has increased, not decreased under Trump.

Workers at the lower end of the pay scale finally are getting the most benefit from rising wages

Rightwinger..............you have to choose a path. You can't have the deluge of undocumented workers and the lets bring in these people from IT in India so you can train your job replacement and have well paying jobs. That's not how it works.

I'm not sure what you thought would happen. This is the shit that people have been trying to tell the Democratic Party.

And your point is? That's right, you never HAVE a point. Go take a nap, you old fart.

I can't believe we're getting a lecture on work ethic from a guy who uses the idiot Ralph Norton the sewer worker for an avatar.

Ralph Norton worked hard for a living. I really dont know about "rightwinger"

Low wage jobs have to get done too. Looks to me like some folks have an incentive to improve their job skills. In fact there are tons of apprenticeships available where they can get training for great jobs and get paid in the process. Of course you can't be a doper or criminal.

At least Trump is an accomplished rich man, and President of the United States.

Ralph Norton was a good for nothing sewer worker and an imaginary character at that.

Who is included in that population count? Are they all Americans, or perhaps those who are uneducated and aren't supposed to be here in the first place?

The point is that the economic recovery is at the top

Just like Conservatives wanted

This study is by the Brookings Institution a famous Liberal "Think Tank". The data has not been reviewed and is likely skewed to put a negative spin on the remarkably robust jobs economy.

A new study, in the scientific journal "Duh!", reports that almost half of all children are below-average!

Ralph who?

Ed Norton, not Ralph. Art Carney. Quite the druggie back in the day.

"According to Carney, he was an alcoholic by his late teens. His first stage partner, comedian Ollie O'Toole, "would order gin and grapefruit juice for us in the morning and, gee, it was great." Carney would later use barbiturates and amphetamines as well as alcohol substitutes, and also tried psychotherapy and joined Alcoholics Anonymous to battle his addiction, which he said ran in the family. He finally found success with Antabuse and quit drinking during the filming of Harry and Tonto.[5]"

Most of the 53 million Americans working in low-wage jobs are adults in their prime working years, or between about 25 to 54, they noted. Their median hourly wage is $10.22 per hour — that's above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour but well below what's considered the living wage for many regions.


A median wage of just $10.22 an hour

More reason to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour
