“In short, they face a
double whammy. Less-educated Americans, especially men, are shifting away from
manufacturing and other jobs that once offered higher pay, and a higher share
are now working in lower-paying food service, cleaning and groundskeeping jobs.
Simultaneously, pay levels are declining in almost all of the fields that
employ less-educated workers, so even those who have held onto jobs as
manufacturers, operators and laborers are making less than they would have a
generation ago.”
