Working isn't always a nice day in the office, working on your computer and going to important meetings. Work is our source of surviving since it is what gives us money to by our necessities such as food and things for us to treat others and ourselves, although not all jobs give the option of being able to buy more then our needs, some hardly even manage to pay those needs. There are many hard working and low paying jobs for which people do have to take with everyday. Here is an article posted at http://www.time.com/ about some of the worst jobs in America:
"A lot of congratulations were passed around by lawmakers a few weeks ago when 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, according to industry experts interviewed by TIME, as well as a new report from the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law. "This is incredibly important because we're talking about people who, for whatever reason, have been pushed to the fringes of society," says policy analyst Liana Fox of the Economic Policy Institute, a Washington-based research group.
What are the worst jobs in America? Things are especially tough for service workers in three low-wage U.S. industries: laundry services, supermarkets and nail salons. Industry representatives argue that conditions in these jobs are no worse than 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," says Fox. "These could be good jobs. And these are all jobs that are more or less here to stay."
