This morning, we watched a news report about the growing number of low-wage jobs in the U.S. Here is an article that gives us more information about low-wage U.S. workers--in particular, those who earn the minimum wage, the lowest wage that employers can legally pay workers in the U.S.
In the past, most minimum-wage jobs were part-time jobs, and the workers were often teenagers wanting to earn spending money or save money for college. The article looks at who works for the minimum wage today.
Can you make any connections between this article and the news report we watched on Monday?
