Income Disparity in New England

A new brief by the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire shows that income inequality in New England is rising at the highest rate in the nation, caused by the loss of manufacturing jobs for low-skilled workers and the increased demand for high-skilled and high-tech employment. Laura's guests are Ross Gittell, Author of the Brief, James R. Carter Professor at UNH and Senior Fellow at the Carsey Institute; and Cynthia Mil Duncan, Director of the Carsey Institute and Professor of Sociology at UNH.
