GRITtv: Dean Baker & John Nichols on Changing the Jobs Debate

The Nation's John Nichols writes of the growing sense of urgency within an administration facing a purported recovery that hasn't extended to everyday people. Around the country, decaying manufacturing towns and communities are suffering in ways that are hidden by the statistics, and a rising GDP doesn't do much for Main Street. Economist Dean Baker wrote: "Even with the prospect of extended benefits, unemployment is still a crisis for the families affected, as they struggle to pay their mortgage or rent and cover other essential expenses." Baker and Nichols put their heads together and came up with ways to create good, meaningful, well-paid jobs and rethink the way Americans look at work.
