> To grasp the JQI’s significance, it’s worth understanding how it’s made. The researchers take private-sector non-manager jobs—which make up 82% of all private-sector jobs—and divvy them into two groups: the “high quality” jobs that pay more than the average weekly wage and tend to have more hours per week, and the “low quality” ones that pay less and offer fewer hours. A “high quality job” is any job that pays more than average. So does every person making average or below-average hate their jobs? And everyone above-average love their jobs? I’m not sure this is a logical way to categorize jobs.
