WAGE GAP
The gap between good jobs and bad jobs
was once quite small, according to economist
James K. Galbraith, but today it is “so wide
that it has come, once again, to threaten the
social solidarity and stability of the country.”
Galbraith, author of Created Unequal:
The Crisis in American Pay, will speak in a
free lecture at 4 pm Monday, May 2 at the Fir
Room, EMU on campus. His topic will be
“Rising Inequality in the Age of
Globalization: The Facts and the
Consequences.”
