Description
The Squeezed Middle: The Pressure on Ordinary Workers in America and Britain by Sophia Parker As wages stagnate while living costs rise, the pressure on working people grows more intense. In both the US and UK, politicians are grappling with the issue of living standards, which has become a pressing challenge. This book brings together leading economic thinkers to examine the impact of different policies on those on low-to middle incomes. American workers have not benefited from growth for an entire generation, with average earnings in 2009 comparable to those in 1975. Now, British workers are facing a similar experience. The book provides valuable insights into what lessons the UK can learn from America's 'lost generation' and how different policies affect those on low-to middle incomes. This timely analysis is essential reading for anyone concerned about the living standards crisis, which could have significant implications for millions of working families.
