Chart of the Day: Yet More Bad Job News

By Kevin Drum| Wed Jul. 27, 2011 11:42 AM PDT

Via Economix, this chart comes from a new study by the National Employment Law Project, and it shows yet another way in which our jobless recovery is grim news. As you can see, we lost only a small number of low-paying jobs during the Great Recession and we've since gained almost all of them back. But mid-wage and high-wage occupations? Those are the jobs that really drive recovery, and they're still very deeply in the hole. Ugh.

3. any transferable mid/ high wage job is overseas

so there will be no recovery until those jobs come back.

4. GE at al have sent all the better-paying jobs (but still cheaper than paying Americans)

to China, India, Mexico, etc. etc. Besides, there are no pesky labor or environmental laws the poor witto corprat babies have to deal with in those other countries. The big old bad US is so mean to the witto brats, aren't they?
