USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Low-wage jobs are usually defined as those that pay less than two-thirds of the national median or mean of gross hourly wages; as such, being in low-wage employment is not necessarily the result of only working part-time.

Detailed explanation-2: -We define low-wage workers as workers whose hourly wage rates are so low that even if they worked full-time, full-year their annual earnings would fall below the poverty line for a family of four.

Detailed explanation-3: -Domestic workers’ weak bargaining power in the home and the low incidence of representative domestic workers’ organizations also make them subject to low wages. Because their workplace is a private household, domestic workers perform their duties in relative isolation from other workers.
