The State of Working America (An Economic Policy Institute Book)
The twelfth edition of this annual work is filled with information that will satisfy both ready-reference and in-depth research needs. Tables and charts cover American income, jobs, mobility, poverty, and wealth; while narrative content offers analysis and context. It’s not completely without bias—the narrative is contributed by affiliates of the Economic Policy Institute (which offers a liberal viewpoint on economic issues)—but the statistics and data know no politics, making this a good choice for most public libraries needing current information on the state of the economy and the middle class. --Rebecca Vnuk
