the federal hourly minimum wage was increased to $5.85, a 70 cent uptick. But 
wages are just part of the problem for workers in bottom-rung jobs. Health 
hazards, lack of insurance and labor law violations are among the on-the-job 
inequities faced by these workers</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1648055,00.html?xid=rss-business">What are the worst jobs in America?

workers in three low-wage U.S. industries: laundry services, supermarkets and 
nail salons.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1648055,00.html?xid=rss-business">

those in other competitive service sectors. But these are trades that often go 
unnoticed. Unlike many manufacturing jobs, these positions aren't vulnerable to 
outsourcing, but they?re losing protection as domestic unions lose sway. 
"There's no reason these jobs have to be unsafe or very low-wage jobs,"</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/59E8C069-1884-43CF-B4FC-26087CC9B702/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
