Re: “Median wage falls to lowest level since 1998”
All these data illustrate how Washington is failing to address one of the most basic needs of the American people: work.
Unfortunately it’s not just Washington that misunderstands this concept. Many groups in Lanc county beat the “affordable housing” drum without focusing on the other half of the equation – jobs and income.
Replacing our industrial sites with housing developments and, in the case of Armstrong – F & M soccer fields, does not create jobs and reduces the value of the affordable housing already in place. A little more focus should be placed on keeping the jobs near the population rather than sites like recent developments in far-flung locations like Gap, Ephrata, and E-town.
