WASHINGTON - Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Sander Levin (D-MI) today made the following statement regarding a new report from the Inclusive Prosperity Commission laying out concrete policy proposals to promote broadly shared prosperity in the United States. The commission was convened 18 months ago by the Center on American Progress.
“Middle class wage stagnation for three decades has remained among the most pressing challenges facing our nation’s economy. This report reinforces that there are immediate steps that we can take now to improve wage growth. This is not a problem without solutions. This pressing issue presents an early test of Republicans’ willingness to move past rhetoric and actually work together to strengthen the economy for hardworking Americans."
