The Modern American Worker [INFOGRAPHIC]
A year ago we posted this infographic about the best jobs in America. The description of “best” seemed to be skewed, unsurprisingly toward the idea of financial reward and the idea of other means of self-actualization were negated. However, in this new infographic (below) we see that there is an increase in concentration, or “popularity”, for low-paid employment. The “Top Jobs” are now considered to be retail sales, cashier work, administration, food preparation and nursing. Are times changing, or do people no longer have a choice?
The most harrowing statistic, yet one that is oh-so predictable, is the inclination of average household income for the top 1% of earners in the States. When compared to the static nature of the other socio-economic rungs, it is staggering and appalling and it is no wonder that ‘Occupy Wall Street‘ is a heavily armed movement.
The infographic concludes with a rather tidy breakdown of what the average person sacrifices in times of dire straights. The largest reduction in spending is absorbed by one’s transport budget – at least there is one upside to the situation, as cutting down on gasoline usage and consumption is no bad thing.
