Quoth EG: Yes, everything you said is true. The job quality measure is only a between industry measure and not at all a within industry measure or within the economy measure. I stress that average wages are declining in real terms with every reporter I talk to in addition to my research on full-time vs part-time work. And, the WSJ reporter who I talked to no less than 20 times promised he'd mention the overall trends. But, alas, I can't control the good news reporters can't help to stress. NPR seemed to have a more balanced view as did the NYTimes.
