Income and Wage Gaps Across the US

Posted by U.S. Conference of Mayors on September 1, 2014

Cities of Inequality or Opportunity?

Jobs created since the end of the Great Recession pay nearly a quarter less than the jobs that were lost during the recession, contributing to widening inequality according to a new report released by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Committed to reversing this trend, over 30 mayors have formed a Cities of Opportunity Task Force to advance local and federal efforts to increase wages, invest in early childhood education, and other initiatives. See if your city has signed on.
