This latest edition will be welcomed by journalists, government leaders, researchers, policymakers, professors, and others eager for a comprehensive portrait of the economic well-being of the nation.

From the Publisher
"No other publication in America is as valuable in assessing what’s happening to working men and women. And no surprise--it comes from the Economic Policy Institute."--John J. Sweeney, President, AFL-CIO
"The report [entitled] 'The State of Working America 2000-01'. . . makes it clear that despite the rosy stock market stories of the past few years, the typical American family accumulated more debt in the 1990's than it made from the appreciation of stocks."--Bob Herbert, Op-Ed, The New York Times. September 4, 2000.
