Jobs

Forty-nine percent of America’s workforce landed a pay raise in some form over the past 12 months, the most the country has seen since 2016.

Nearly half of Americans who work a second job say they do it as a personal preference.

Congressional districts that attract highly educated workers around areas like Denver and Charlotte, North Carolina, were among the communities that saw mean household income rise the most from 2013 to 2018, according to new figures released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau.

The issue dates back to the Great Recession.
