According to a Marist-McClatchy Poll, 8 out of 10 Americans think upward mobility is harder compared to previous generations. More Americans say the economy works against them to maintain a moderate standard of living. Experts say politicians efforts to focus on the middle class are failing. Only 15 percent say it takes the same work as it did before, and a scant 5 percent think it's easier now. Experts say the poll indicates a time when the economy and the country are being changed by fervent globalization and technological evolution. At the same time Americans struggle to achieve progression and politicians are confused over how to help. Some experts also say pol...
