Where Are the Jobs? At the Bottom

The middle class truly is disappearing. As I've long said and as is argued more academically in this video, most of the job openings are in very low-wage jobs--janitorial, food service, home health aides, etc. $10 an hour is the new norm.

So don't let the flat unemployment statistics suggest that the job market is stablizing. A person who previously worked for $75,000 a year may now well be working for $10 an hour yet will still be counted in the government statistics as "employed."

 I truly am worried and sad for those who are trying to earn a middle-class living in today's America.
