Community Meeting RoomProfessor Amy Kittelstrom explores what the economic climate means for the future of the American working class.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, net productivity in the U.S. rose by an impressive 61.8% from 1979 to 2020, yet the hourly pay for typical workers increased by only 17.5% during that same period. Explore how deregulation, tax cuts for the wealthy, and weakening labor protections have shaped a new economic reality—one where the benefits of growth are increasingly concentrated at the top. What does this mean for the future of the American working class?
Join us for a thought-provoking discussion with Sonoma State Professor Amy Kittelstrom, Ph.D., who specializes in modern thought and culture.
