No, there is not a war on America's working class

Given inflation, where is America’s working class now?

Listen to certain pundits — such as Batya Ungar-Sargon, author of the new book “Second Class: How the Elites Betrayed America’s Working Men and Women” — talking about the poorest Americans, and you may get pessimistic. But it’s simply not true — there is no “war on the working class.”

Despite the bad news about inflation, wage gains for Americans have actually continued to be robust — and not just on average or for the economic elites.
