My AEI colleague Karlyn Bowman has a fascinating report out today. From a post she wrote on AEI’s blog:

“Middle-class economics” has been a focal point of President Obama’s latest economic proposals. What does it mean to be middle class? The March issue of AEI’s Political Report examines how Americans define “middle class” in terms of income and lifestyle, who identifies as belonging in the middle class, what economic challenges this class faces, and who Americans think best helps the middle class overcome those challenges.

Find that, and more, by checking out the full report.
