Florida may have added 114,000 jobs last year, but they paid almost 25 percent less on average than the ones they replaced, a new analysis by the Tampa Bay Times shows.
Part of the problem is the fact that many of the newly created jobs are in several lower-wage sectors: retail clerks, theme park workers and restaurant servers, a report by the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy group, shows.
Occupations with the biggest growth nationally between first-quarter 2010 and 2011 were in retail sales (median hourly wage of $10.72); office clerks (hourly wage of $13.21); and cashiers (hourly wage of $8.83). But occupations that saw the biggest losses in that same time period were managers (median hourly wage of $28.30), computer scientists and system analysts (hourly wage of $29.15), and human resources and training (hourly wage of $21.71), the Times reports.
