Most of Shasta County's fastest growing jobs are not paying the area's current average income, state labor consultant Kathy Porter told business and community leaders Friday at the Redding Civic Center.
Porter said retail sales, cashiers and customer service representatives will be the three fastest growing occupations in the county over the next four years. Retail sales people make an average wage $8.76 an hour, a cashier earns $8.08 and a customer service representative $11.55 — all below the county's average wage of $13.93 an hour.

This is not just hugh and series, this is IMPORTANT:
1) Unemployment is no worse under President Bush than it was during the first 3 years of Clinton,
2) Inflation is much lower--basically nil, and
3) The average wage for U.S. workers has GONE UP BY $2 AN HOUR!!! Workers are earning MORE now than during the Clinton years!
