A survey conducted by Hart Research Associates for EPI offers new perspective on how widespread the pain from the recession has been. In a survey of 802 registered voters in September 2009, 44% said they have experienced a layoff or a cut in hours or wages in their household. The vast majority of those surveyed believe the country is still in a recession.
