American men in their 30s today are worse off than their fathers' generation, a reversal from just a decade ago, when sons generally were better off than their fathers, a new study finds. It also says the typical American family's income has lagged far behind productivity growth since 2000, a departure from most of the post-World War II period.

Marathon overnight talks between the Histadrut labor federation and the government failed to avert the walkout, which began at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) because thousands of municipal workers haven't been paid for months. Past strikes have lasted for days, each day costing the economy tens of millions of dollars (euros) in losses."
