Description
The State of Working America, prepared biennially since 1988 by the Economic Policy Institute, includes a wide variety of data on family incomes, wages, taxes, unemployment, wealth, and poverty--data that enable the authors to closely examine the effect of the economy on the living standards of the American people. As well as providing a snapshot of working Americans at the turn of the new century, this latest edition will look behind the extraordinary job and income growth of the late 1990s to assess the quality of these new jobs, weigh the contribution of the high-tech sector in the so-called "new economy," and examine the widening gap in wages and incomes. Praise for The State of Working America 1998-99. "The State of Working America 1998-99 may be the most up-to-date, comprehensive economic portrait of American labor available."--Publishers Weekly "Read The State of Working America to appreciate how growth is generating benefits very unequally."--Harvard Business Review "The authors present a convincing case and go to great pains to bolster their conclusions with a wide range of figures, studies, and statistical analyses. Their argument is compelling. Its ramifications are frightening."--Inside Business
