lower-paid
Making smaller wages
Lower-paid describes workers or positions that receive less compensation than others in comparison.
The term often appears in discussions of wage inequality or labor policy: Lower-paid employees rarely have access to the same benefits.
It implies a relative standing—lower-paid compared to some other group—rather than an absolute wage level.
