NPR: Reinventing the Dwindling Middle Class May Take a Revolution
Reinventing The Dwindling Middle Class May Take A Revolution
As the U.S. recovers from the Great Recession, one fact that’s emerging is that while jobs are coming back, most of these jobs are either high- or low-paying jobs. Middle-class jobs are not coming back, and it’s evident in towns across the Midwest like Lincoln, Ill.
Remind me not to visit Lincoln any time soon. I haven’t seen this sort of decline in Lansing or Leavenworth. The tiny town I grew up in out in the county though is probably a poster child for the situation described in NPR’s article above. Sad and scary.
Jeans Day Charity: Hillcrest Transitional Housing of Kansas
This Friday my employer is sponsoring a fundraiser jeans day in support of Hillcrest Transitional Housing of Kansas. I plan to participate by donating more than the requested minimum of five dollars ($5.00).
This charity provides rent free hosing on a short-term basis in the Wyandotte and Johnson County areas of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. This housing is combined with financial education and provides a structured program design to assist homeless individuals and families in transitioning to self-sufficiency.
For more detailed information about the Hillcrest Transitional Housing organization, please follow this link.
