The Project for Middle Class Renewal (PMCR), based at the University of Illinois’ Labor Education Program, is dedicated to improving conditions for the working class. Our mission is to enhance public understanding of economic and worker issues through research, analysis, and education. We aim to develop policies that tackle poverty, ensure fair representation for all workers, combat discrimination based on gender, gender identity, sexuality, ability status, and race, to create stable employment opportunities, and promote middle-class wages. Each year, we release important research studies and host educational forums on labor and workplace issues.
