Booming Inequity: Work and the New Economy
May 26, 1999
Listen/download helpWorkers today are earning less than they did when Richard Nixon was President, with adjustments for inflation. And families are deeper in debt than ever before. The United States leads industrial nations with the widest gap between rich and poor. On this roundtable edition, we look at some of the reasons for this disparity amidst the celebration of a booming economy, and some ways to boost incomes for working people.
