In the 12th edition, Lawrence Mishel, Josh Bivens, Elise Gould, and Heidi Shierholz analyze a trove of data on income, jobs, mobility, poverty, wages, and wealth to demonstrate that rising economic inequality over the past three decades has decoupled overall economic growth from growth in the living standards of the vast majority.The new edition of The State of Working America also expands on this analysis of American living standards, most notably by placing the Great Recession in historical context. The severe economic downturn that began in December 2007 came on the heels of a historically weak recovery following the 2001 recession, a recovery that saw many measures of living standards stagnate. The authors view the past decade as "lost" in terms of living standards growth, and warn that millions of American households face another decade of lost opportunity.Especially troubling, the authors stress, is that while overall economic performance in the decades before the Great Recession was more than sufficient to broadly raise living standards, broad-based growth was blocked by rising inequality driven largely by policy choices. A determinedly data-driven narrative, The State of Working America remains the most comprehensive resource about the economic experience of working Americans.Working classUnited StatesEconomic conditionsStatisticsCost and standard of livingUnited StatesStatisticsUnited StatesEconomic conditionsStatisticsElectronic books.Working classEconomic conditionsCost and standard of living331.10973/021Mishel Lawrence R143824Bivens Josh, Gould Elise, MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452779803321The state of working America2450859UNINA02297nam 2200445Ia 450 99638674290331620200824132122.0(CKB)4940000000078323(EEBO)2240977601(OCoLC)ocm12648814e(OCoLC)12648814(EXLCZ)99494000000007832319851009d1691 uy |engurbn||||a|bb|A collection of words not generally used, with their significations and original[electronic resource] in two alphabetical catalogues, the one of such as are proper to the northern, the other to the southern countries : with an account of the preparing and refining such metals and minerals as are gotten in England /by John Ray ..The second edition, augmented with many hundreds of words, observations, letters, &c.London Printed for Christopher Wilkinson ...1691[22], 211, [5] pAdvertisement: p.
