"The history of private-sector employment in the U.S. over the past three decades is one of overall degradation in the ability of many American jobs to support households — even those with multiple jobholders," they wrote.
The group wants to popularize a new economic metric, called the*Job Quality Index, that goes beyond the usual labor market barometers, which tend to focus on the quantity of employment. To be sure, there has always been plenty of jobs that don't pay well. But, as the index's creators found when crafting their measurement, there is now a growing number of low-paying jobs relative to employment with above-average pay.*
The GOP makes no bones about it, they want Americans back in the factories, not in the office or hospital. Maybe they figure uneducated masses are easier to control.
So they want to rig the game and change the rules where their opinion is accepted as a fact !!!
No surprises here !!! Its a common theme of the left !!!
This is exactly what Trump supporters were saying while he was campaigning. Obama's recovery was fake with growth largely in low paying jobs. This vindicates that mindset, no?

In other words: "OMB"

Why are you replying to something you cant even see?
'06-'12 was the biggest decline. Gone up and plateaued a bit since then but now trending back toward the long term downward slide since '90.
This whole idea was deeply embedded in Trump's campaign and how he won over blue collar workers. Now disavowing it because he hasn't been able to fix it?
