America’s deepening class divide has an inescapable influence on every facet of our lives, not just on how much money we make or how healthy we are but also on what we think and believe. Our politicians have been quick to exploit class for partisan advantage but slow to deal with it. The fixes required are more complex than any bumper sticker, and they are not going to be cheap. We need a new economic and jobs policy to upgrade the more than 60 million low-wage service jobs. This new social compact would invest in and cultivate the full talents of all workers as the source of higher wages, improved competitiveness and greater growth. We’re running out of time.
