Half of new jobs pay below poverty level, report shows

The Associated Press

Fueling an election year debate over the quality of the 16 million new jobs added since President Reagan took office in 1981, the report by the Democratic staff of the Senate Budget Committee concluded that the majority of low-paying jobs had grown at the expense of a shrinking middle class.

The report is based on data from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey for 1979, 1986 and 1987. The data was released earlier this month.
