And eventually we'll come out of recession. See how that works?
oh and if wages are rising (i think youre right) are they higher than they were in 2007? what about 1997? we know theyre not higher than they were in 1973. its been a long term decline in the economy which has led to the election of trump, a neo fascist.

But, they added, the issue can't entirely be addressed by improving workers' skills, since low-wage jobs reflect the strength of a local economy. Recent research suggests "there simply are not enough jobs paying decent wages for people without college degrees (who make up the majority of the labor force) to escape low-wage work," they wrote.

In other words, even if low-wage workers undergo job training and learn new skills, they're not guaranteed to find good-paying jobs anywhere near where they currently live.

  • Almost half of U.S. workers between ages 18 to 64 are employed in low-wage jobs, the Brookings Institution found.
  • Low-wage jobs are pervasive, representing between one-third to two-thirds of all jobs in the country's almost 400 metropolitan areas.

Can you name other countries where most workers have high wage jobs?
