Just recently, a Chicago-focused study on low-wage earners saw this group grow by 30% in just the last year. More bluntly, this shows that the middle class is shrinking under Obama's stewardship; despite all his "bull" that he's growing and helping the middle class. The fact is that most of the new jobs created in the private sector over the last 3-1/2 years have been low-paying; explaining why the mean family income has fallen by 8.2% over that same period.
