Note that the biggest category of jobs added in both time periods, substantially increased the average wage ($23,562, to $31,459)

As for recent job openings being mostly for low paying jobs, that's not a surprise and its not new. Low paying jobs tend to have more turnover so you get more openings.

As for the majority of jobs paying less thatn $43,264 a year, that's also not new, not a surprise, and not something horrible. Esp. if they are talking about new job openings (which tend to pay less for the reason mentioned in the last paragraph)

$43k a year isn't lousy. Also many people who are earning it either don't have kids, or have additional source of family income.
