Recovery for All or Recovery for the Few?: Billionaire Wealth Soars in Connecticut

Type Policy Brief or Report
Year 2021

State(s) Connecticut
Policy Areas Economic Justice
While Connecticut’s working families are struggling with low wages, threats of eviction, food instability, lack of affordable health care, and high levels of unemployment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, Connecticut’s wealthiest residents have amassed unprecedented wealth.
