The State of Working America 1994-95


Book Description

The fourth version of the report prepared by the Economic Policy Institute. It draws on up-to-date government statistics, research by a broad body of academicians, and independent analysis to provide a comprehensive portrait of how the US standard of living has changed during the last 15 years. From the dust-jacket blurb by Congressman Richard Gephardt: "[It] documents in great detail how middle-class families have paid dearly--in reduced wages and declining standard of living--as a result of the Reagan and Bush economic policies of the 1980s."
