The Only State that Lost Middle-Wage Jobs

October 16, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

You can see here which states are creating middle-skill jobs—jobs that pay between $13.84 and $21.13 per hour. “At the bottom, Rhode Island is the only state that’s lost middle-wage jobs the last few years. Coincidentally, it’s also seen a decline in high-wage jobs, meaning all of its job growth has been in occupations that pay $13.83 or lower,” according Joshua Wright at Newgeography.com.

He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get.
