“We Have Become a Nation of Hamburger Flippers”: Dan Alpert Breaks Down
the Jobs Report
At 162,000, the July jobs report fell short of expectations and well shy of
“whisper” numbers for payroll figures above 200,000. In addition, job
tallies were revised down for May and June and average hourly earnings fell
0.1% in July, the first decline since October.
The data disappointed Wall Street economists but are consistent with the
trends Dan Alpert, managing partner at Westwood Capital, cited in a recent
report: “The fact is that the U.S. employment situation is more of a
wounded beast than a bull,” he writes.
According to Alpert’s analysis, 69% of the jobs created in the second
quarter – and 57% in the first half of 2013 – were in the three lowest-
paying sectors of the economy: retail trade, administrative and waste
services, and leisure and hospitality. These jobs, which account for 33% of
all private sector jobs, pay an average of $15.80 per hour.
“What you’re seeing is now the spreading of low wage growth,” he says,
noting those trends continued in Friday's July jobs report. “Really we have
become a nation of hamburger flippers, Wal-Mart sales associates, barmaids,
checkout people and other people working at very low wages.”
The growth of low-wage jobs helps explain why the majority of Americans
continue to believe the economy is in recession, despite a falling
unemployment rate – now down to a four-year low of 7.4% – a record-setting
stock market rally and a rebound in the housing market.
