This link might not work but if you Google "Low Pay Clouds Job Growth" under News, it should come up. The graphs are particularly revealing. The article mentions something that jibes with my comment that waiter/bartender jobs now exceed manufacturing jobs:
Companies that are hiring tend to be in industries that can't as easily boost sales without adding workers. Such sectors typically pay lower wages. Over the past year, lower-paying sectors such as retail, restaurants, hotels and temporary-help agencies accounted for more than 40% of job growth. Many of those jobs are part time; the share of Americans working part time, which spiked during the recession, has shown little improvement and has been trending upward for much of this year. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324635904578643654030630378.html _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
