THE FORMS OF MEDIA WHERE THE FINDINGS WOULD BE INCLUDE ARTICLES, NEWSLETTERS, AND LISEP'S WEBSITE AS WELL AS NEWS MEDIA, ACADEMIC JOURNALS, PODCASTS, ETC. LISEP HOPES THAT THE PUBLICATION OF NEW STATISTICS WILL LEAD TO TRACTION AMONGST RELEVANT AUDIENCES SO THEY WILL BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMIC PREDICAMENT OF LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME AMERICANS.
