ʻO ka loaʻa kālā i hoʻololi ʻia no ka hapaha mua o 2022 e hōʻike ana i ka nalowale ʻana o nā limahana ʻAmelika, e koi ana i ka hapa nui o ka poʻe hana ma waho o ke kūlana hana uku ola no ka mahina o Malaki a i loko o nā pae o ka "hana ʻole hana," e like me ka he loiloi e ka Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).

Ua hoʻopuka ʻo LISEP i kāna helu mahina ʻoiaʻiʻo o ka nele i ka hana ʻole (TRU) no Malaki me ka hōʻike ʻo True Weekly Earnings (TWE) i kēlā me kēia makahiki no ka hapaha mua o 2022. hoʻopaʻa i ka hana manawa piha e uku ana ma luna o ka laina ʻilihune. ʻO ka TWE kahi ana o ka loaʻa kālā median maoli i kēlā me kēia pule ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana no ka piʻi ʻana, a ʻokoʻa ia mai ka ʻikepili i hoʻopuka ʻia e ka Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) ma o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā lālā a pau o ka limahana, me nā limahana hapa manawa a me ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i ka hana.

Ma ka hōʻike TWE hou loa a LISEP, ua emi iho ka loaʻa kālā ma waena o kēlā me kēia pule ma luna o ka hapahā ʻehā o 2022, e hāʻule ana mai $881 a i $873 (ʻO kēia mau helu, a me nā helu loaʻa kālā āpau i kēia hōʻike, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia i nā kālā 2022 Q1 i hoʻoponopono ʻia). Pēlā nō ka pākēneka o ka poʻe hana e ʻimi nei akā ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i kahi hana manawa piha, ka uku ola - ʻo ka "functionally unemployed," e like me ka wehewehe ʻana e TRU - hoʻonui kokoke i kahi pākēneka piha, mai 22.6% a i 23.5%. ʻO ka piʻi ʻana o ka nele i ka hana ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa ma waena o nā demografika āpau, nā kāne a me nā wahine, ʻoiai ua hāʻule ka loaʻa kālā no nā demografika āpau koe naʻe nā limahana ʻeleʻele, ka mea i ʻike i ka piʻi haʻahaʻa, mai $723 i ka pule a i $725.

Ua neʻe kēia mau helu ʻelua ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe mai nā metric i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e ka BLS. Ua piʻi ka TRU i ka 0.9% aʻo ka BLS o ka nele i ka hana ʻole i emi iho i ka 0.2%, a ua emi ka TWE e 0.9%, me ka BLS e hōʻike ana i ka piʻi ʻana o ka loaʻa kālā i hoʻololi ʻia he 0.5%.

"Ke paʻakikī nei nā ʻohana ma ʻAmelika e hoʻokō i nā hopena i ka hoʻokele waiwai o kēia manawa, me ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai e koi ana i nā hoʻoholo paʻakikī e hiki ke loaʻa i nā hopena hanauna," wahi a LISEP Chair Gene Ludwig. "ʻO ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e hoʻoholo i waena o ka meaʻai a me ka hale e kūʻē i ka mālama olakino a me ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻaʻole ia he kūlana lōʻihi no ke kaiāulu olakino."

ʻO kahi memo maikaʻi ma ka hōʻike o ka loaʻa kālā ʻo nā limahana haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa - ʻo ka poʻe ma ka 25th percentile o ka hāʻawi ʻana - ʻaʻole i nalowale i ka honua mai Q4 2021, e noho mau ana ma $538 i hoʻokahi pule. Akā,ʻo ka piʻiʻana o ka helu 0.9 i ka March TRU e hōʻike ana i kēia mau lā,ʻo nā limahana me ka loaʻa kālā kokoke i ka paeʻilihune ($ 20,000 i ka makahiki ma 2020 dollars) e paʻakikī loa ana e ka hoʻonuiʻana a no lailaʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke mālama i kahi pae uku e mālama ai i kahi. liʻiliʻi o ka nohona. Hoʻonui hou ʻia kēia ma muli o ka hiki ʻole o ka Consumer Price Index (CPI) ke ana pololei i ka hopena o ka piʻi ʻana o nā kumukūʻai ma nā hale waena a me nā ʻohana haʻahaʻa, e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia e ka noiʻi LISEP i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma Malaki e hōʻike ana i nā makahiki he 20 i hala, ʻo ka CPI ua hoʻohaʻahaʻa i ka hopena o ka hoʻonuiʻana i nā hale LMI e 40%.

Mai ka hiʻohiʻona demographic, ʻike nā wahine i ka emi nui loa o ka loaʻa kālā ma ka Q1 2022, e hāʻule ana mai $771 a $760, ukali ʻia e nā kāne, e hāʻule ana mai $991 a $983. Ua ʻike nā limahana keʻokeʻo i ka emi ʻana o kā lākou loaʻa kālā mai $976 a i $971, me nā limahana Hispanic e ʻike ana i kahi hāʻule mai $709 a i $705. ʻO ka poʻe ʻAmelika ʻaʻohe kēkelē koleke - ʻo ka poʻe ʻaʻohe diploma kula kiʻekiʻe, me kahi diploma kula kiʻekiʻe wale nō, a i ʻole hoʻonaʻauao kulanui akā ʻaʻohe kēkelē - ʻike lākou i ka emi ʻana o kā lākou loaʻa kālā ma ka papa.

Ma ke alo o ka hana, mai Feberuari a Malaki, ua ʻike nā kānaka nui a pau i ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka nui o nā limahana i helu ʻia ma ke ʻano he "hana ʻole hana" - ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i nā hana manawa piha, uku ola, e like me ke ana ʻana e ka TRU o LISEP. ʻO ka TRU no nā limahana Hepanika ka spike nui loa, e piʻi ana mai ka 25.1% a i ka 27.3%, kahi piʻi o 2.2 pakeneka, a ukali ʻia e nā limahana ʻeleʻele me ka 1.6 pākēneka helu lele, mai 26.3% a 27.9%. Ua ʻike nā limahana keʻokeʻo i ka piʻi haʻahaʻa o 0.3 pakeneka, mai 21.5% a i 21.8%. ʻO ka TRU no nā wāhine he 0.5 pakeneka helu (27.7% a 28.2%); no nā kāne ua hoʻonui ka TRU i 0.9 pakeneka, mai 18.1% a i 19%.

"ʻOiai paha mākou e hōʻiliʻili i kekahi mau paipai ʻana, ʻoiai i ke alo o ka hoʻonui ʻana, ua paʻa ka loaʻa kālā no ka poʻe ʻeleʻele a me waena a me nā limahana haʻahaʻa i ka hapaha mua, ʻo ka lele ʻana o ka mahina i hala i ka hana ʻole ma mua o ka hoʻopau ʻana i kēlā manaʻo maikaʻi," wahi a Ludwig. . "He harbinger paha kēia o nā manawa paʻakikī i mua no nā ʻohana waena a me nā haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, a he hōʻailona maopopo e pono ai nā mea hana kulekele e hana koke i nā hana koʻikoʻi."

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

This is further exacerbated by the failure of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to accurately measure the impact of rising prices on middle- and low-income households, as indicated by LISEP research released in March showing that over the last 20 years, the CPI has understated the impact of inflation on LMI households by 40%.
9 percentage point increase in the March TRU indicates that more recently, workers with earnings near the poverty level ($20,000 a year in 2020 dollars) are being hit the hardest by inflation and thus will be unable to maintain a wage level that maintains a minimal standard of living.
A somewhat positive note in the earnings report is that lower-income workers – those at the 25th percentile of the distribution – did not lose ground from Q4 2021, remaining steady at $538 a week.
