44% of Fully Employed Make less then $18.000 a Year

LMAO... that is complete nonsense.

The MEDIAN income is $47,000. No way the 50%-40% dropoff is that steep.

Note that your article doesn't provide a source for that claim?
 
Great Employment Numbers: 44% of Fully Employed Make $18,000 a Year or Less
December 10, 2019

Beneath the rosy employment report lives a reality of low-paying part-time and temporary work with no benefits or security.

Serious? Which are they talking about? Full time or part time/temp?

I did read it. It is nonsense and does not give data. You click on the "study" and it also does not give data. Again, the median income in the US is about $47,000. Yet this OP's article claims 44% of full time workers make less than $18k???

That makes NO sense.

Agree, that cannot be correct. The median income in 2018 was $61,937 (not $47,000).

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2019/09/us-median-household-income-up-in-2018-from-2017.html

The bottom 20% income upper limit was $24,638 (2017) and the average income for that group was $13,258
The second 20% income upper limit was $47,110 and the average income for that group was $35,401

www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-poverty/historical-income-households.html

The income for the second 20% ranged from $24,638 to $47,110. So, the entire second quintile (20% of wage earners) had incomes above $18,000. That means the percentage of people with incomes under $18,000 was less than 20%.

Indeed.

Average Salary Information for US Workers
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median wage for workers in the United States in the first quarter of 2019 was $905 per week or $47,060 per year for a 40-hour workweek. Wages were 2.7% higher than on the same date for the previous year.

Thread fail due to being a lie...as almost every thread by the OP is a lie.
 
Trump's low unemployment economy simply means millions are working 2-3 jobs, of course most positions are filled

same was true under Obama, Bush, and Clinton only to a lesser extent
