Reporter's query: Has economic downturn hit you?

Rhode Island’s middle class is hurting.

Wages are stagnant. Houses are worth less. It costs more to fill our gas tanks, heat our houses and pay our medical bills. Some have lost their homes to foreclosure.

The pain of the economic slowdown has spread to people with four-year college degrees; people who always expected they would have good paying jobs.

If you are one of these people, Providence Journal Reporter Lynn Arditi wants to hear your story. Please contact her at larditi@projo.com or (401)277-7335.
