Absolutely true that the vast majority of jobs created are very low wage. It takes a lot of effort to parse the real economic data in a jobs report, anything that is a clickbait one sentence headline, is surely misleading. You cannot get relevant information in one sentence.
You clearly know more than me, Jordan, so I'm curious - considering most of these jobs are low paying and there is a lack of supporting info, is it still not enough to say based on this that we are, at the very least, moving in a pretty good direction?
From this report, it is clear that there are a lot of “jobs” for which corporations are not hiring. Wage growth continues to be stagnant. Total people counted as looking for work decreased. That’s how the data is manipulated, they stop counting people who are looking 6+ months.
Thanks!
