Martinez cites the Economic Policy Institute, which estimates that for every manufacturing job lost in the United States, approximately 7.4 indirect or induced jobs are lost. “This means, if Regal Beloit shuts its doors on these 171 workers, an estimated 1,260 jobs will be lost in the Valparaiso region and across the supply chain.”

The Jackson Hole valley is home to the most unequal metropolitan area in the United States. As measured by the Economic Policy Institute in 2015, the top 1% of residents earned an average of $16.2 million, more than 132 times the average income of the bottom 99% of families.

On a national level across all races, the top 1% captured 85% of post-recession income growth from 2009 to 2013, according to an Economic Policy Institute study on income inequality. In some states, they recovered 100% of those gains. But when broken down by race, blacks and Hispanics haven’t fared as well as their white counterparts.

And as profits go, so goes the payoff for the C-suite and shareholders. The CEO-to-worker pay ratio ballooned to 281 in 2017 from 195 in 2009, according to the Economic Policy Institute, and it projects a comparable ratio for 2018. Shareholders have been richly rewarded, too, as the U.S. stock market has more than quadrupled in value since early 2009.

Then, there’s the reality that American prosperity is not being shared the way it once was. Despite low unemployment, wages have not been going up, and real wages have been stagnant since 1973, when Richard Nixon was in the White House and “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” was atop the charts. The Economic Policy Institute has found that the wealthiest 1% in the United States rakes in more than 25 times more than the 99% not in the ranks of the gilded. America’s prosperity is also not being shared by all parts of the country. Metropolitan areas with heavy concentrations of educated workers and cutting-edge tech industries are faring much better than rural areas, or regions of the country that were once home to smokestacks and factories. Not all the boats have been lifted in America’s rising tide over the last several decades.

Multiple surveys in recent years have found that basic fact, but one, the National Center for Education Statistics’ 2011-2012 Schools and Staffing Survey, broke it down by state, and the Economic Policy Institute has adjusted for inflation and put it on a map, so you can see how much teachers in your state are spending. It ranges from a low of $327 in North Dakota to a high of $664 in California. That’s the money they spend out of pocket, not what they’re reimbursed for, and it’s an average that factors in the just under 5% of teachers who don’t spend anything.

SEATTLE, WA — Teachers in Washington are digging into their own pockets to buy school supplies, spending an average of $464 over the school year to subsidize local budgets, according to new inflation-adjusted data from the Economic Policy Institute.

Part of the problem is a lack of housing affordability. The other part, CBS said, is the growing wage gap between teachers and other professionals. The left-leaning Economic Policy Institute found last year that teachers earn 5 percent less than they did in 2009, when adjusted for inflation, and 11 percent less than other college-educated workers.
