Study: Jobs shifting to lower-paying industries By Margaret Steen Mercury News In 48 out of 50 states, jobs are shifting from higher-paying industries such as manufacturing and information to lower-paying industries such as retail and hospitality, according to a report released today by the Economic Policy Institute. In California, for example, the average pay in industries that are growing is $34,742, 40 percent less than the average wage in industries that are shrinking, $57,800. The study analyzed data from November 2001 to November 2003. Michael Ettlinger, one of the economists who did the study, said government policies, especially regarding international trade, could address this shift. The Economic Policy Institute is a non-profit group that was created to make sure the concerns of low- and middle-income workers were included in economic policy discussions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Margaret Steen at msteen@mercurynews.com or (408) 278-3499. mercurynews.com
