Statistics, Inc.

This one is downright distressing:  currently, one in four Americans is working in a low wage job.

One in four.  This means, as you're walking down the street, out of every four people you pass by, one of them is stuck in a low wage job.  Twenty-five percent of American workers.

I know some will say that this number includes a lot of youths, but how many of them are trying to save for college or helping Mom and Dad pay the bills?  I'm sure a few of them are also people who are happy with fifteen to twenty hours a week so they can take care of other matters (family, personal, hobbies), but you'd still have to assume there are many, many more who want and need so much more in wages.

And how much worse do you think this will be if Daddy Warbucks and Jughead win the Presidential race this November?  I'm guessing it increases within a year to two in five....

And just how long do you suppose the wealthy, corporations, and other powers that be in this country think we are going to sustain such abject wages?

Not too fucking much longer, my friends.
