The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) and the Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center (MBPC) will hold a media conference call briefing on Thursday, January 26 at 2 p.m. (ET) to discuss two major new studies about the growing divide between the highest-income families and poor and middle-income families nationwide, and locally in Massachusetts.
This trend is in marked contrast to the broadly shared increases in prosperity between World War II and the 1970s.
The MBPC's report, "The Growing Gap", based on data from the CBPP-EPI study, shows that similar trends occurred in Massachusetts, but to a greater extent.
To participate in the conference call, please register by e- mailing spillane@cbpp.org or by calling CBPP at (202) 408- 1080.
Working families across Massachusetts continue to face difficulties in paying for housing and other necessities.
