Is The American Dream Attainable

• Slightly less than three-quarters of U.S. workers say the American dream is unattainable, according to a new survey with 755 respondents.
• Seventy-seven percent also say the nation's political system doesn't represent them on workplace issues such as health care, retirement, fuel prices and the economy.
• Women feel even less represented than men, with 82% of female workers feeling unrepresented compared to 73% of male workers, reports the Marlin Company, a workplace-communications firm in Wallingford, Conn.
