In the past few years there has been a steady decline in our economy, more specifically the job market. Nowadays the lack of jobs leads to an unstable economy which leads to more job losses and so on. If there is no work, then people aren't making money. If people aren't making money, then there is no money to spend, and no money to support a flourishing economy.…
In the article "Confronting Inequality" Paul Krugman is explaining the inequality in the United States, while demonstrating the many statistics. He is mentions American huge gap between the elites and lower and income classes. Economic inequality brings the social inequality, where as a result, we would have a society of unequal opportunities. In 1997 Irving Kristol published an article in The Wall Street Journal called ‘Income Inequality Without Class Conflict.’ Kristol argued that we shouldn't worry about income inequality, because whatever the numbers may say, class distinctions are, in reality, all but gone.…
If Bernie Sanders be can President I would like him to work on in the economy is: minimum wage, health care, and . Minimum wage is my number one thing because there people in the world today that are working more than 10x they are getting paid. Depending on some jobs there minimum wage should not go up like McDonald’s and etc. because them are known places to eat from. Keep ObamaCare in place because more people are seeing the doctor then dying from illness. They take away ObamaCare more people not going to be able to see the doctor, they are not going to be able to pay for it cause its going to be to much.…

“How to Save the Middle Class When Jobs Don’t Pay Enough” by Peter Barnes explores the growing issue of job-based incomes failing to support a middle-class lifestyle. Barnes suggests that the solution lies in supplementing work income with non-labor income, proposing a system where all citizens receive dividends from shared national assets. Barnes argues that the traditional job market is no longer a reliable source of middle-class income due to factors like automation, globalization, and the shift toward a big economy. These changes have led to immobile wages and job insecurity, making it difficult for many to maintain a middle-class standard of living. In conflict with this, Barnes introduces the concept of a “common wealth trust,” which…
Many of us ask ourselves “Why vote for Bernie Sander?”. Many may argue that Bernie Sanders is way too old to be President, but truth is that the older they are the wiser they are. Bernie Sanders has stated that he’ll change many things, but that’s what every candidate says, the real question is will he has really done everything he has said he’ll change?

Even from the earliest points in his life, Bernie Sanders has been a powerful example of bravery. Born to Polish immigrants in 1941, Sanders was not blessed with prosperous childhood years, as he grew up in a cramped Brooklyn apartment. However, during these early years the future senator and now presidential candidate began to form an interest in the political world. In an interview with the Guardian newspaper, he proclaimed, “I saw unfairness. That was the major inspiration in my politics.” (bio) Being surrounded by economic and social disparity, Sanders decided to transcend and battle his way through the obstacles presented before him. During his time at the University of Chicago, he became an active leader in the Civil Rights movement, assisting in the organization of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Reflecting on his call to action, the senator states,…

It is not that women are not asking for pay raises, they are, it is just that they are not receiving them as much as men do when they ask. The Cass Business School, the University of Warwick in the UK, and the University of Wisconsin have been doing research on women in the workforce. They have been researching what it is that causes women to not receive as many pay raises as men get. The study is challenging the myth that women do not ask for pay raises because they do not want to upset the boss or that they are not as ambitious as men. The study is done in Australia because they keep track of pay raise requests and who gets them. Women simply are not getting pay raises they ask for. However it is not all bad, times are beginning to change…
During his state of the union address, President Obama made a call for a fair minimum wage of $10.10 an hour that would improve the lives of millions of Americans. One of those lives is Trion from Atlanta; Trion is a single mother that has a 5-year-old daughter with asthma. Trion’s minimum wage job is often spent on rent and other necessities, leaving little money to save for her daughter’s medicines. She shares her concern about the possibility of her daughter having an asthma attack that could end up in the emergency room (Harris). Raising the minimum wage will help people like Trion. In addition, the raise of the minimum wage could help the economy by producing…
