ACTU report: Low wages bad impact on Australians

The Australian Council of Trade Union says that low wages has led to many Australians taking multiple jobs. The secondary jobs are acquired in healthcare, education and social assistance. The reason behind the situation is low wages in their primary jobs. Another major reason is the increase in casual part time insecure works. Economists call this wage stagnation as the situation has constantly remained almost the same since 2010.
