Job growth at the extremes Return to "Service workers find jobs easily, yet low wages stay part of the deal"
|
King County's economy churned out new jobs from 1990 to 1998 - more than 175,000 in all - and this analysis of state wage data suggests the hottest growth was at the top and bottom of the scale. Jobs paying less than $15 an hour and jobs paying more than $25 an hour grew nearly twice as fast as jobs in the middle. Overall, the under-$15-an-hour category accounted for 6 out of 10 new jobs.
