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, write Martha Ross and Nicole Bateman of the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program, which conducted the analysis.
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.
The right to work (for less states)
Smaller cities in the South and West tend to have the highest share, such as Las Cruces, New Mexico, and Jacksonville, North Carolina, where more than 60% of workers are low-wage.

Do you think a Starbucks job that pays $15/hr in S.F. is any less low wage than a Starbucks job that pays $10/hr in BFE?

Living wage arguments are the arguments of fools. In nearly ALL cases of low-wage jobs, the primary reason is due to a lack of education and/or drug and alcohol problems.
There is an easy solution to this; but dishonest hacks on the left who support a Fascistic Democratic Party of the Jackass don't care about solutions. They prefer demagoguery.

There still are many people living from paycheck to paycheck, which demonstrates that mainly the 1% has gained from this economical expansion.

"Almost half of Americans work in low-wage jobs".
And to think, they have more skill and make more money than you Guno. HA!

That is another pile of stupid leftist bile. Who is forcing these people to work for less than they believe they are worth?
How do the 1% prevent anyone from making more money? It's the 1% that are creating jobs for the vast majority of Americans and creating wealth at the same time. The economy is not finite, but INFINITE.

Who can live in NY City on $25 an hour? That equates to $52,000 per year. If we are going to assign arbitrary wage rates, why not make it $45 an hour? Or $50 an hour?
That is a pile of moronic Marxist bile. The rich don't take anything from you or anyone else, you uneducated dunce. When Gates created Microsoft and grew the company into a billion dollar enterprise, he created more wealth and millionaires than any Marxist moron who ever came to power.
No one makes someone poor. That is done by the person. You are poor due to a glaring lack of education and/or drug and alcohol abuse. Nothing more.

That has already been done. I shit you not. Liberals will find anything racist:

Lots of people know about how Coca-Cola used to contain cocaine or how Pepsi was the hip drink in the 1960s. Few realize that Coke marketed assiduously to whites, while Pepsi hired a "negro markets" department."
