The last 18 months ordsprog

The last 18 months have shown some progress for low-wage workers. But the majority of gains have been at the upper end. My guess is that the gap is going to be widening. Is everyone going to be better off? I don't think that narrowing is going to be a long-term trend.

It's not the border that's broken but the U.S. labor market. There is a widening economic gap between immigrants and U.S.-born workers which reflects the broader deterioration in wage and working conditions for less-skilled and low-wage workers.

Nearly 80 percent of low-wage workers are people of color and the majority of minimum wage earners are women. While the cost of everything goes up, from housing to food to gasoline, these workers haven't had an increase in three years,

It is a long-term trend. Over the past 30 years, the median wage has grown about 9 or 10 percent.

Rather than creating conditions that allow American workers to fill jobs at higher wages, what the president is proposing merely converts low wage illegal aliens into low wage workers with visas. Our economy would have to adapt if the influx of cheap foreign labor is ended, but that is an adjustment strongly desired by a majority of Americans, whether native-born or foreign-born. The concept that our economy must be served by a permanent under-class of foreign guest workers is reprehensible and unacceptable.

Anybody who works should get at least a minimum wage. If employers offered minimum wage, Americans would do those jobs. American workers fought long and hard for a decent wage.

This is great news; we're making progress. But I think it is both bad planning and bad public policy to look toward the future based on a 'short-term trend.' We don't know how long this will last.

I think everyone's trying to be the hero to call the end of the trend, but I think this could be a very long-term substantial beneficial trend for investors, to stay long energy. A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them. I think everyone's trying to be the hero to call the end of the trend, but I think this could be a very long-term substantial beneficial trend for investors, to stay long energy.

Politicians must decide: either they open up the low-wage sector and offer a new chance to the long-term unemployed and those with few qualifications, or they introduce a legal minimum wage. Both together won't work.

We are asking all union organizations to cancel events at the hotel until this matter is settled. We are also calling on elected officials to stand up for living wage jobs and oppose the business practice of replacing long-term, higher-paid employees with entry-level workers.

The gains in the economy are being translated into gains for workers as well. The numbers confirm that 2006 got off to a strong start for America's workers.

It's just a statistical correction after the very strong months before. The long-term upward trend is very strong.

Dirk Schumacher

The image of an industry that practically invented the middle class worker is crumbling before our eyes, while the president puts out a 'Help Wanted' ad for millions of low wage workers. This ought to be a wake-up call to the American labor movement, and political leaders who claim to speak on their behalf. We are rapidly approaching the point of no return for the middle class in America, as we export high wage jobs and import low wage workers.

Instead of looking at life as a narrowing funnel, we can see it ever widening to choose the things we want to do, to take the wisdom we've learned and create something.

Liz Carpenter (1920-)

The larger trend remains to the upside, but its hard to say whether we'll see gains in the short-term,
