Quote:On top of it all, according to the Congressional Research Service, the government’s non-partisan think tank, ever since the Great Recession, the types of jobs being made available don’t present a particularly rosy picture. “Employment growth since 2007,” writes Sarah Donovan of the CRS, “has been concentrated in certain occupations with low median wages [...] and high median wages [...], while the decline in employment share has been concentrated in certain middle-wage occupations” such as “production, office and administrative support, and construction” labor. Young people and African-Americans have both struggled to find work, while Hispanic workers are inordinately concentrated in low-wage positions. It’s almost like America’s post-recession economic boom is a sham that’s had the effect of widening the gap between rich and poor and concentrating wealth among a small number of old white dudes! Oh wait, that’s precisely what’s happening here.
