5 of America's fastest growing jobs pay less than $25,000

It's certainly easier to find work these days than in the depths of the Great Recession. But, a good job is still hard to find.
Among the 10 jobs projected to grow the fastest in coming years, half pay less than $25,000 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And three-quarters pay less than the typical annual wage of $35,540.

true, but there aren't nearly enough of those type of jobs; that's the whole problem.

There is still a lot of nepotism in the trades, and entry level is not really entry level anymore
