Click here at 10:30 a.m. EST to join Vice President Joe Biden as he hosts a live webcast with a panel of leading scholars to discuss the unique challenges facing America’s middle class in the 21st century economy.
This special Center for American Progress (CAP) and Economic Policy Institute (EPI) event will cover economic developments and trends affecting middle-class families, including changes to the overall labor market in recent decades, shifting gender roles, the need for a work-and-life balance in today’s economy, economic inequality and mobility, and the increased gap between productivity and wages.
Biden is chairman of the White House Task Force on Middle Class Families that President Barack Obama established in January to ensure the administration’s economic recovery effectively raises the living standards of middle-class families and those aspiring to be in the middle class.

I didn’t see the webcast but what would be the point anyway? ‘Unique’ challenges? Unemployment continues to rise, our government continues to allow foreign workers to be brought in, jobs are still being sent overseas, banks are raising interest rates on credit cards while cutting credit limits, those same banks are refusing to work with families who are delinquent on their mortgages, our government is spending our money as fast as they possibly can and senior citizens are being denied a cost of living increase for the first time ever. These challenges are not ‘unique’, they are ENORMOUS.
