The Erosion of Middle-Class Economic Security After 2001

Christian E. Weller ()

Challenge, 2008, vol. 51, issue 1, pages 45-68

Abstract: This economist presents a variety of ways of measuring how security has been reduced in the 2000s. How well can middle-class Americans withstand financial emergencies—a bout of unemployment, for example, or a medical emergency? He finds that the gains in security of the late 1990s were eroded entirely in the 2000s.
