The stuff you presented doesn't make the case you want it to make. It doesn't support your conclusion.

On a related note -

"No doubt. Case in point is a recent study reported in the newspaper that shows that the majority of new jobs in California pay in the upper two earning quintiles.

If you don't want to click on the PDF to see the numbers, the bar graph is titled "Share of California’s job growth by earnings quintiles, 1979-2005" and the numbers from lowest earning quintile to highest are 26.9%, 6%, 14%, 25%, and 28.1%.

Here are some possible headlines:

"Majority of new jobs at upper end of earnings spectrum"

"Growth in higher earning jobs double that of lower earning jobs"

"Only 6.9% of workers earning less"

"Most doing better; some left behind"

"Middle-wage jobs declining in California as disparity grows"

After what I am sure was a considered and intelligent debate in the editorial room, or more likely exactly the opposite, which do you think they went with?"
