Some highlights:
* "The median male worker earns less today, adjusted for inflation, than he did 30 years ago."
* "By the late 1990s, more than 60 percent of mothers with young children worked outside the home (in 1966, only 24 percent did)."
* "By the mid-2000s, the typical male worker was putting in roughly 100 hours more each year than two decades before, and the typical female worker about 200 hours more."
* "In the late 1970s, the richest 1 percent of American families took in about 9 percent of the nation’s total income; by 2007, the top 1 percent took in 23.5 percent of total income."
* "The rich are better off with a smaller percentage of a fast-growing economy than a larger share of an economy that’s barely moving."
