December 21, 2005 | EPI Policy Memorandum
By EPI President Lawrence Mishel and
Policy Director Ross Eisenbrey

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE ECONOMY?

1. Profits are up, but the wages and the incomes of average Americans are down.2. More and more people are deeper and deeper in debt.


3. Job-creation hasn't kept up with population-growth, & the employment-rate has fallen sharply.

4. Poverty is on the rise.

5. Rising health care costs are eroding families' already declining income.

See the one-page EPI Report here for data on the conclusions they reached. Season's Greetings, Herb.
