As the title so simply explains, a new report claiming that half of all Americans work low wage jobs fails to disclose that when defining workers they did not limit their analysis to people who worked full time, year-round—as others do.
If you are interested in reading the report, both the data and the full report is available here: https://www.brookings.edu/research/meet-the-low-wage-workforce/ .
Another important detail of the report that most media outlets failed to mention or purposefully deceived about are the low wage thresholds that the report used.
Most of the mainstream media failed to mention that the low wage thresholds were set well above the minimum wage.
