Low-pay part-time jobs dominate July gains in US economy
July added 162000 jobs but quality lagged as part-time positions rose to over 65 percent of new hires. Low paying retailers, restaurants, and bars drove much of the growth while wages edged down to 23.98 an hour. Analysts cite growth in part-time work to dodge health care mandates and automation shifting middle-class roles abroad.
