Study Finds More Workers Raise Middle Class Income
Laboring longer helps middle class families boost income by 9.2 percent from 1989 to 1998 after inflation, with blacks and Hispanics contributing more hours. Without extra earnings from working wives, growth would be 3.6 percent. The EPI report notes higher work hours among minority groups and cites varied views on whether longer hours reflect necessity or voluntary pursuit of advancement.
