So the economy is finally recovering, and jobs are being created. But it seems like the newly-created jobs are mostly inferior to the ones that have been lost. Lower pay, fewer benefits, more likely to be a dead-end job; that sort of thing. I’m constantly hearing about people who got laid off, and are now working for half the pay and no health care or something like that.
Have there been any studies that compare the jobs lost in the last few years with the jobs created in the last few years? I’m curious to know whether we’re really recovering, or whether we’re becoming a nation of Walmart employees.
