A new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research says 44 million , or 1 in 3 U.S. jobs, are low-paying jobs and most of them have no benefits. Margy Waller is with the center’s Mobility Agenda.

[Margy Waller 1]: "What we're seeing really is a hollowing out of the middle class. And we are seeing a decline in those jobs that people can move into."

Waller says rising productivity has not increased wages and these jobs, with wages below $11.11 an hour, need to be improved.

[Waller 2]: "We've got to turn the corner on this. To get back to where we were historically we've got to improve these jobs."

(The report was done for the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) by Inclusion, a virtual think tank associated with CEPR.)
