No, I don't think that's true. Lots of new jobs are, but not all. I think
there's a bifurcation in the market, with good/high paying and bad/low
paying jobs being created in bigger numbers than decent/ok paying ones. The
real average wage - led by the private service sector, by the way -
couldn't be rising if it were just mainly low-pay jobs.
