great more jobs and the minimum wage is still $7.25 federally and worker’s right are on a downward slide
While there’s likely some minimum wage jobs represented here, it looks like its a tiny fraction (spitballing, maybe 10% tops). Here’s from the report:
"In May, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 14 cents,
or 0.4 percent, to $34.91. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 4.1
percent. In May, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees
increased by 14 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $29.99. (See tables B-3 and B-8.) "
You’re not going to get $34.91/hour and $29.99/hour averages with lots of $7.25/hour mixed in.
