Jobs gained during the economic
recovery from the Great Recession pay an average 23% less than the jobs lost during the recession according to a new report released today by The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) under the leadership of President Sacramento
Mayor Kevin Johnson. The annual wage in sectors where jobs
were lost during the downturn was $61,637, but new jobs gained through the
second quarter of 2014 showed average wages of only $47,171. This wage gap represents $93 billion
in lost wages.
Who wouldn't be unhappy with the president given those numbers?
