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,

Half of Americans make less than the average!

78% live paycheck to paycheck. worst inequality and upward Mobility ever anywhere after 35 years of GOP dominance. Only brainwashed fools like you make this possible.....

I imagine that is a major surprise to about 90% of the country.

Especially Clinton and Obama.

Looks fairly even to me.

I've heard that nearly half of American jobs now pay below average wages.

Does it seem odd that you would complain about low paying jobs, inequalities, high cost rents and real estate, poor healthcare etc etc yet relentlessly champion illegal wetbacks whom lie at the root of all your complaints?

So you prefer no jobs?

 

[OKTexas]

Part of this is because employers have never had such an easy time finding incredibly qualified hard working employees. It's so easy to replace workers so companies get rid of their best employees before they are due for a raise. It's an employers market. This is leading to overqualified work until ready to drop workers filling low pay jobs.

Yeah, that's why there's almost 9 million unfilled jobs out there, LMAO.

Interesting.

One question.

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

Higher. inequality and upward Mobility just keeps getting worse and worse because of GOP tax rates, a giveaway to the rich and a screw job for everyone else. only brainwashed ignoramuses make this possible. 4 30 years now. Because of reconciliation and filibuster rules written by the GOP oh, it take 60 votes for reform but only 51 to cut taxes on the rich and services for everyone else. Great job.

Yeah, Clinton and Obama were useless.

Your 'study' link leads to Brookings. Ha Ha Ha....You gotta be kidding!!! .A Progressive 'think tank' purporting to do objective research that does a pre-paid 'study' to find whatever result the client wants all the while putting up a fake 'objective' facade. You stupid TDSers are certainly easily fooled. The MSM has been fooling you for decades using the same tried and true tactic of basically lying about their reporting bias by insisting they are 'objective.'

"public spending records captured by our organization at OpenTheBooks.com tell a somewhat different story. Rather than focusing on “open-minded” inquiry, Brookings seems swayed by “open-wallet” inquiry. In many cases, Brookings doesn’t resemble a think tank, but a jukebox – add a little coin and Brookings will play your tune, if the price is right."

"And these aren’t just dollars provided by private donors -- these are your tax dollars funding partisan advocacy projects and papers."

"Since 2008, Brookings amassed nearly $20 million in contracts and grants from 50 agencies – including the Obama Administration’s Office of the President. Despite assets of $496 million (IRS990, FY2014), our OpenTheBooks.com audit shows it was not enough. Brookings instituted an aggressive strategy to pursue federal business over the past nine-years."

Businesses don't pay higher wages today because they don't have to. Labor unions are all but gone in many sectors. Rather than pay higher wages, many businesses have the option of sending jobs overseas or automating. Many businesses operate on a very short time horizon, that is there is their goal is producing as much income now with little concern for the future. Thus when the business hires it has little interest in an employee's potential in 5 years. Likewise the employee tends have little interest in the business because the business is likely to be bought out, radically changed, or go under. Quoting my grandson, life is just one shitty job after another.

People should quit dodging the elephant in the room, people love to exploit brown people for cheap vegetables, Asians for sweat shop labor for products at Walmart then bitch how come they are not paid more.

Go suck an egg you drooling moron, those jobs all existed under Obama, in fact the Great Obama created them. OTOH you whine about excessive presidential power now you blame Trump for the wages that employers offer and the people who all take them like Trump is supposed to just snap his fingers and change that?

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

I am off on a trip tomorrow so remind me in a week.

I have a life, so I am living it.

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

The point is that the economic recovery is at the top

Just like Conservatives wanted

Oh? Under obummer (your hero) the rich got super rich and the middle class saw their net worth drop for the first time in decades.

Explain that away you little fluffer you....

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

Which merely raises the rate of inflation. Duh.

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.

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.

At least Ralph Norton was not 3 time married cheater who fucks porn stars while their wife recovers from child birth.

Jealous?

So what, a job is a job
If it pays the bills who fucking cares
How much should a burger flipper or bagger make, $20 an hr?

Both my jobs are low wage jobs
My grip is no vacation or pto or holiday pay
That's why I've been putting in applications
with places that do, for now they keep a roof over my head
