The Incredible Shrinking Middle Class

Nearly 40 percent of San Diegans dont earn enough money to live here, according to a new report. San Diego is the 11th most expensive city in the United States. The Countys unemployment rate is at a 13-year high -- 6.4 per cent, and 100,000 people are looking for work. KPBS reveals why this is happening in a new documentary.

Yes, that is ture for people with Bachelor's degrees to go bacl to college to get executive level degree's, or Master's. This is a very thorough story on the shrinking middle class, but I just would add that the middle class is a step above, andmay already have the income of a spouse, and have above average education at the college level. therefore, it seems the lady can try to find employment at The Mission Federal credit Union, or one of the othe call Center credit unions for work.

A one stop career center for the middle class that has possibly been degreed in the same field for years.

If she is in the banking industry San Diego has credit unions that hire for Customer Service Representatives---yes, the mini skirt is displaying her full body. But, their is banking customer service available in san Diego, not as high paying as Washiington Mutual.........Unless, the reporter is just reporting, instead of finding solutions of some income coming in for the lady who is married to the Public Defender.

get it through ur heads folks...if you don't pay attention to politics but the BILLIONAIRES DO...you're gonna lose to the BILLIONAIRES...every year the top 1% gains $650 billion in net worth and the bottom 80% loses $700 billion in net worth....you'll see a correlation? Vote the GOP out of politics, make them go extinct and vote in TRUE LIBERALS, TRUE FDR PROGRESSIVEES

@lamiac2411 You do realize that what you just described is the result of conservatism, right?

[lamiac2411]

Thats where the united States is heading folk's. Instead of having good paying jobs with an economy that actually PRODUCES something worth any type of value we are all reduced to fucking shelf stockers at WalMart that don't even pay enough to fucking eat much less raise a family. Unless you work for the government or have a fuckin masters degree you might as well kiss your job goodbye! Apply to WalMart or target now! U may think ur job is safe LOL not with Obama in office!!
