Sen. Sanders:The U.S. now has more low-paying jobs than any other major country on earth. Morality?

[JDPriestly]

12. "low-paying jobs" That may refer to the fact that we no longer have the higher paying

industrial jobs -- not compared to our workforce.

This quote is probably taken out of context.

I rejoice when I find a product that is actually made in the US. Most of the stuff I see is junk made in other countries.

Professional jobs still pay decent wages in the US. And people who work for themselves can do decently if they work hard and smart. But most Americans who work as employees at jobs do pretty menial things.

Used to be a woman could easily get a secretarial position that paid fairly decently. Now a large percentage of those jobs are gone. Just look around and ask people what they do.

And the pressure to lower pay for jobs like teachers, lawyers, etc. is really heavy.

We have a very low minimum wage and few programs that make up for that low wage.

I suspect he is talking about industrialized, developed countries. The quote needs some context.
