America's middle class families aren't the only ones having a tough time these days.Middle-income households are disappearing in developed countries around the world, according to a new report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.The study, titled "Under Pressure: The Squeezed Middle Class," laid out a litany of problems affecting middle-income households. And it warned that this could have serious consequences for nations' economic growth and social fabric."Today the middle class looks increasingly like a boat in rocky waters," said OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría. "Governments must listen to people's concerns and protect and promote middle-class living standards."The middle class has been under stress for years, helping fuel the rise of progressive Democrats in the United States, who are seeking to increase taxes on the rich to provide a stronger safety net — including universal health care. But while many presidential candidates point to Europe as a model, the OECD report shows that problems exist there too.The share of people in middle-income households in developed countries fell from 64% in the mid-1980s to only 61% by the mid-2010s. However the declines were larger in several countries, including the United States, Israel, Germany, Canada, Finland and Sweden.In the United States, just over 50% of the population is middle class, much smaller than most other developed countries.The report considers households earning between 75% and 200% of the median national income as middle class.Higher costs, less incomeRising income inequality is part of the reason for the trend. Over the past 30 years, median incomes in OECD countries increased a third less than the average income of the richest 10%, the report found.At the same time, costs are going up faster than inflation in the world's richest economies — making it harder for the middle class to keep up. Home prices, in particular, have been growing more than a third faster than median household income in recent decades. The middle class spent 32% of their budgets on housing in 2015, compared to 25% in 1985.More than one in five middle-income households spend more than they earn.The middle class has also been losing economic clout in OECD countries, which could ripple through societies. The total income of this group was about four times that of upper-income households in 1985. Thirty years later, the ratio fell to less than three."The investment of the middle class in education, health, and housing, their support for good quality public services, their intolerance of corruption, and their trust in others and in democratic institutions, are the very foundations of inclusive growth," the report said.Millennials struggle to make itYounger people are having a harder time achieving middle class status than those in previous generations. Being middle class once meant living in a comfortable house and affording a rewarding lifestyle, thanks to a stable job with career opportunities, the report said. It was also a basis from which families aspired to an even better future for their children.Close to 70% of the baby boomers were part of the middle class when they were in their 20s, compared to nearly 64% of Gen X but only 60% of millennials. Baby boomers also enjoyed more stable jobs during their working life than younger generations.Job insecurity is on the rise as labor markets transform amid increasing globalization and technological use. One in six current middle-income jobs face high risk of automation."These trends paint an uncertain picture for workers with middle incomes, in particular, those with low-medium skills in routine jobs," the report said.The OECD offers some suggestions for addressing the middle class squeeze, many of which match the talking points of progressive US candidates. They include lowering taxes on the middle class and increasing them on the wealthy, developing more affordable housing, helping young adults build wealth, containing the cost of education, child care and health and improving workers' skills and training.The-CNN-Wire? & ? 2019 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company.

Alex Jones, the founder of the far-right conspiracy website Infowars, lost his appeal Friday in connection to a case that seeks damages related to the Sandy Hook mass shooting.A Texas appellate court ruled Friday that Jones and Infowars cannot cite a free speech law to end a suit that seeks damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Jones and Infowars are being sued by a mother who lost a child in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut in 2012. The 3rd Court of Appeals found that Jones' and Infowars' reporting that the school shooting was a hoax and that the parents were actors "could be understood to accuse parents of Sandy Hook victims of either being untruthful about the manner in which their children were killed or being untruthful about whether their children were killed at all," 858

A Tulsa, Oklahoma, woman is urging brides to use more caution when selecting a wedding photographer than she did. "I was planning this since I was a little girl and it turned out just the way I wanted it and I have no pictures," Natalie Barney said. Barney was on a tight budget for her big day. "I just wanted a small wedding, but it had to be big enough for everyone to see my pink dress," Barney said.When she saw an advertisement for an "affordable" photographer on Facebook, she clicked on it. The bride-to-be messaged April Keller, owner of Queen Bee Photography - Stillwater, who she said quoted her 0 for 100 photos. "I saw her pictures on Facebook and they looked good," Barney said. It was a photo of a bride in her wedding dress surrounded by her bridesmaid in pink dresses that caught her eye. Queen Bee's post said "Wedding Samples" and showed several other stunning wedding photos. An online image search found the photos were on Pinterest and linked back to websites for designers, like Hayley Paige and Jenny Yoo. Barney did not know that at the time she booked.She said she met up with Keller before the wedding and provided her with a list of about 40 photos she wanted, including shots with her bridesmaids, close family, of her cake and so on. The two also agreed Keller was also going to be in charge of taking photos at a photo booth at the reception. August 1 was her big day. She said that was the day she started worrying. "She was trying to take pictures off of his flash," Barney said about Keller. "She was waiting for him to take a picture and whenever he would take a picture, she would take a picture."At the wedding, Barney said Keller admitted she was having camera issues and her flash did not work. Barney said she was worried about her photos from that moment on. "She messaged me [after the wedding] and asked if I could get the pictures my 10-year old niece took so she could edit those," Barney said. Barney was sent a handful of pictures through Facebook messenger but not near the 100 she paid for. "There are only three that are good pictures," the bride said. "They are pictures that I could have taken." In Facebook messages provided by Barney, Keller admits the pictures did not turn out well. It was heartbreaking news for the bride because she had family fly in from out of state for the occasion.As a consolation, Barney said Keller offered her a free family photo shoot with her children and grandchildren. On the day of the shoot, about 10 members of Barney's family went to the location they chose in coordinating outfits, but Keller did not show up. "I didn't think I could be more hurt than I was after my wedding and that happened and then I just gave up," Barney said. Keller said over the phone that her husband had health issues after Barney's wedding. She also said she is not operating Queen Bee Photography any more. A post on the business's Facebook page a day after a reporter spoke to Keller on the phone said, "I'm closing this company to open the chapter of my life if you get an invite from me please accept."We found a new photography business that her name and phone number are listed on called A-game Photography. "You get what you pay for," Barney said. "You get what you pay for. If you're going to try to save money on any part of your wedding, don't let it be the photographer." 3367

After a confusing day of mixed signals on trade and Iran, US President Donald Trump began his final round of talks at the Group of 7 summit on Monday eager to put a positive spin on his agenda.He said he'd received word from China that its negotiators are ready to return to trade talks, even after his aides spent Sunday insisting Trump wants higher tariffs on Chinese products. And he shrugged off a surprise visit a day earlier from Iran's foreign minister, saying he knew it was happening and didn't interpret it as a sign of disrespect."It's been really good. It's not quite over yet, but I will tell you we have had great unity," he said before a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.But even in that session, differences were apparent. Merkel said there is "a long way to go" before a solution for Iran is reached. And she said she'd be "very glad" if the US and China can end their bitter trade war.Trump seemed to suggest there was a better chance of that happening after a set of phone calls overnight. He also appeared to allude to comments from China's vice premier, who said China would "adopt a calm attitude" in trade negotiations."One of the reasons China's a great country is they understand how life works," Trump told reporters during a morning meeting alongside Egypt's president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, saying his trade team received phone calls from Beijing expressing a desire to restart talks. "I have great respect for it. This is a very positive development for the world."China's foreign ministry, however, didn't mention any phone calls in a briefing on trade. And later, Trump and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin refused to elaborate on the calls' substance."There were discussions that went back and forth and let's just leave it at that," Mnuchin said.Still, talk of resuming discussions with China was a hopeful moment amid otherwise bitter trade disputes at the G7, where Trump has been a man alone in his insistence that tariffs can produce a trade truce rather than rattling the global economy.Already, US and Chinese negotiators were set to meet again next month, so the development Trump touted on Monday didn't itself amount to a breakthrough. But any sign the two sides are continuing to work toward a deal comes as a welcome development for other G7 leaders, who blame the protracted trade war for weighing down growth."We will see what happens but I think we will make a deal," Trump said.The note of optimism aside, there was little evidence Trump was preparing acts of conciliation that might help the group of leaders put on a show of unity on their final day of talks. Instead, disputes over trade, foreign policy and climate change were readily apparent, even as Trump maintained the summit was without discord.He'll end the day with a joint press conference alongside his host, French President Emmanuel Macron, who has made a point of pushing forward on issues where his disagreements with Trump are obvious. That included a surprise appearance by the Iranian foreign minister, whose arrival in Biarritz on Saturday caught some US officials off-guard. Macron informed his fellow leaders that Mohammad Javad Zarif would make the visit only the night before he arrived.Trump maintained a neutral view of the development on Monday, saying he was not surprised and had even given Macron his approval to push forward with planning the Zarif visit."Macron spoke with me, he asked me," Trump said. "I said if you want to do it that's okay. I don't consider that disrespectful at all, especially when he asked me for approval."Still, Trump said he felt it was too early for a meeting with Zarif himself. And he continued to trash the Iran nuclear deal, an accord that European leaders are working to salvage after Trump withdrew.Iran has been one of several points of contention for leaders here. Another has been climate change, the focus of a midday session Monday.Trump was absent from the start of the session, his chair sitting empty while other leaders began the talks. Ahead of the G7, US officials said the President viewed sessions devoted to climate change and oceans a poor use of time, preferring instead to focus on the economy.At the past two G7s, Trump has dashed his counterparts' attempts to put forward a show of unity on the issue.Trump's aides have huffed that the summit's agenda is an attempt to bolster Macron politically while isolating the United States. Whatever the intent, the effect has been to separate Trump from other leaders at a moment of global anxiety.Nowhere has that been more evident than on trade, a topic Trump injected with new confusion on Sunday. After appearing to soften on his beloved tariffs, telling reporters 4719

A New Jersey teenager is proving that you can do anything if you just set your mind to it.Despite being in and out of homelessness, 17-year-old Dylan Chidick has been accepted into 17 different colleges -- and that's just what he's received so far."I was really excited because I'm going to be the first person in my family to go to college," Chidick said.He added, "Going through homelessness let me know that there's going to be obstacles, but as long as (our family is) together, we can get through it."With offers from schools like Albright College, Ramapo College and Caldwell University, Chidick has a tough decision ahead. However he's still waiting to hear back from his top choice, the College of New Jersey.He applied to about 20 colleges and universities in total. Sending in applications can get pricey, but Chidick was able to obtain application fee waivers.He was inspired by his mom's courageChidick's family moved to the US from Trinidad when Chidick was just 7 years old, but after becoming citizens, they endured countless heartaches.The single mother, Khadine Phillip, and her three kids were in and out of homelessness. And Chidick's two younger twin brothers live with serious heart conditions.Chidick said he was inspired by his mother's courage to reach out to the non-profit Women Rising and ask for help. The center put the family in permanent supportive housing, giving Chidick a safe place to study."Seeing my family become vulnerable and opening themselves up to accepting help is basically what created my drive to never experience that ever again," Chidick said.The student said experiencing homelessness and balancing school was difficult."There was lights out at a certain time, and we weren't able to be the way that we usually are at home," Chidick said.At school, Chidick was initially hesitant to let others know about his situation."The entire administration staff was very supportive, but I didn't want anyone to know about it at first," he said. "But I realized it was OK to let people in."Chidick worked to become the senior class president at Henry Snyder High School in Jersey City and was inducted into the Honor Society. He also served on the city-wide student council and said he tried to "float around" to every club.He hopes to study political science and historyAfter he picks his home for the next few years, Chidick hopes to major in political science and minor in history."I like the politics side of everything and understanding how the government works," Chidick said.History is his favorite subject, so he plans to take plenty of courses in that subject as well. 2628
