Looks like the middle is taking the hit: http://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2014/05/just-released-what-kinds-of-jobs-have-been-created-during-the-recovery.html

What have grown are higher-skilled jobsâsuch as engineers, computer programmers, doctors, and financial analystsâand lower-skilled jobsâsuch as food service workers, retail clerks, health care aides, and child care workers. .
