Hourly workers earning less now than before recession, report says
By Let's Talk Los Angeles on May 12, 2014
Despite gains in the economy, hourly workers in California earned significantly less in 2013 than they did when the Great Recession began, a report says.That is especially true for Californians in low-wage positions who earn in the bottom 20th percentile, according to a California Budget Project report released Thursday. These workers saw earnings plunge 5.4% to an average of $10.90 an hour, down from an inflation-adjusted prerecession level of $11.52.
