Amid record corporate profits and an uneven economic recovery, public opinion nonetheless suggests increasing economic anxiety among middle-class 
Americans. A recent survey conducted by Change to Win and Lake Research Partners reveals growing pessimism among American workers, disengagement from the public policy conversation, despair over the economic prospects of the next generation, and a virtually universal demand for government action.
On Friday, July 13, Change to Win Executive Director Greg Tarpinian will join a Brookings Institution panel discussion, Economic Anxiety and the American Dream, moderated by Washington Post columnist and Brookings senior fellow E.J. Dionne, Jr. The discussion will address the Lake Research Partners American Dream research, a new paper on economic security by Brookings research fellow Elisabeth Jacobs, and the implications of public attitudes toward government’s ability to tackle critical issues.
Friday, July 13, 2007
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2nd Floor
1779 Massachusetts Avenue, NW
Washington, DC
Panelists also include Brookings senior fellow William Galston, Elisabeth Jacobs, and Third Way vice president for policy Jim Kessler. Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research Partners, will open the discussion with a presentation of the American Dream research.
