Costs surge for U S middle class families
A Center for American Progress analysis released Wednesday shows four person households facing a 28 percent rise in housing costs over 12 years and a 32 percent jump in essentials including health care, day care, housing and college and retirement savings from 2000 to 2012 after inflation. Health care outlays rose 85 percent to 8600 annually from 2002 to 2012, while college costs and tuition surged, state aid fell 24 percent, and child care costs climbed 37 percent. Net worth for middle 20 percent households dropped 17 percent to 55300 in 2013 from 2010, reflecting higher expenses and reduced saving.
