Marketplace Confessional

"Chris Farrell calls this a 'blue-collar recession'. According to journalist Nan Mooney and professor of financial law Elizabeth Warren, the white-collar middle-class may not be losing jobs, but they are falling behind in earnings and growing in debt, so are feeling -- and are -- less secure than their parents. Job loss, wage stagnation (or retreat) for white-collar workers, job insecurity . . . really rankle when we see the top 1 percent continue to grow richer each year, and often because today's business practices squeeze the rest of us till we bleed."
