America may be exceptional in many ways, but it also tops the
charts of a new, troubling ranking. The U.S. has more low-paying jobs
than any other country in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development, an economic group of 34 developed countries, according to a
research note released by Morgan Stanley on Monday ... The OECD defines
"low-paying" as jobs that earn less than two-thirds of a country's
median income. On average, around 16 percent of jobs in OECD countries
are considered low-paying. In the U.S., over 25 percent of all jobs
qualify as such ... The ranking reflects America's problem with income
equality.
