Twenty-six States, including all those in the Middle Atlantic and West South Central divisions, recorded higher percentages of workers paid $5.15 or less in 2002 than did the U.S. as a whole. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
