The U.S. middle class is no
longer the world’s richest. Recent analysis shows that while wealthy
Americans still outpace their peers in other advanced countries, our
middle class is falling behind. That news comes at a time when nearly
40 percent of our nation’s unemployed have been out of work for six
months or more. And a federal minimum wage law -- which many say would
indirectly benefit higher wage earners -- has stalled. Some economists
believe once the U.S. economy takes off again, the middle class will
make a recovery. But others are not as optimistic. Diane and her
guests discuss the plight of the middle class in a post-recession job
market.
