Where Labor and the Middle Class Meet
Labor Day, once linked to the American Federation of Labor, evolved into a broad middle-class holiday marking the end of summer. The article argues the American working man is largely middle class, notes Eddie Levenson’s idea of “building a new society in the shell of the old,” and notes unemployment around eight to nine percent. It cites a Princeton Opinion Research Corporation survey for the Business Roundtable showing little shift in views.
