The Joint Economic Committee, chaired by Sen. Charles E. Schumer, released a series of snapshots that examine the impact of the worsening economy on women, Hispanics, Americans nearing retirement, African-Americans, and young families. Each snapshot examines the current housing, jobs, wages, health care, and poverty data and their impact on these individual groups. You can find state-by-state economic snapshots on our website that were also recently updated.
