| Abstract | A landmark new study reported that upward mobility in the Keystone State since the late 1990s exceeded that in most parts of the United States. This report, focused on more recent trends, contains some bad economic news. It shows that Pennsylvania's economy has performed poorly from the perspective of typical working families since the end of 2010. It also shows that wages have been flat for a longer period. The conclusion of this report outlines a simple three-point agenda designed to increase middle-class purchasing power, accelerate Pennsylvania's sluggish economic recovery, and revitalize upward mobility for the next generation--to revitalize the American Dream in Pennsylvania: (1) Raise entry-level wages to $15 per hour; (2) Invest in education from cradle to grave, which new research shows would boost long-run productivity growth as well as increase upward mobility; and (3) Enact policies that would increase civic engagement and voter turnout, especially among middle- and lower-income voters, who currently have lower rates of turnout than upper-income and more educated voters. The rest of Keystone Research Center's annual checkup on the Pennsylvania economy provides a comprehensive overview of employment, unemployment, wage, poverty, and income trends since 2010--and in many cases over longer periods, sometimes as far back as 1979. While the authors offer their own interpretations of the trends, the report is deliberately data rich, with complete sources on where the information comes from, so that members of the media, policymakers, and the general public can examine the facts for themselves.
