How Is the Middle Class Doing?

What group should we measure in order to discover how the middle class is doing in America?

Responses

We should likely be measuring middle career middle income Americans because they capture a host of important information. They're likely settled into their careers and have made major life decisions. Excluding the elderly, for reasons of fixed income, and the young, because of the makeup of youth employment, will provide the best snapshot.
