Families today are squeezed on every side—from nearly unaffordable housing, education, and childcare costs to stagnant wages and the rise of the gig economy. For this generation, attaining the standard of living their parents managed has become nearly impossible.

Powerfully argued, deeply reported, and ultimately hopeful, Squeezed casts a bright, clarifying light on families struggling to thrive. It will make readers think differently about their lives and those of their neighbors.
