This week on a NOW:

* Those little town jobs blues. What's the reality behind America's job recovery? NOW reports from the ground in a swing state to find out in THE VIEW FROM MAIN STREET.
* Class act. Are corporate elites waging a class war in America? Bill Moyers asks Michael Zweig, economist, author, and founder of the Center for Study of Working Class Life.

crafting is at a fever pitch on the campaign trail. David Brancaccio
turns to NOW analyst Kathleen Hall Jamieson for the message of the
moment.
* Playing the God card. Bill Moyers interviews NOW analyst Kevin
Phillips about how faith is taking center stage in the campaign.

THE VIEW FROM MAIN STREET

As Bush and Kerry barnstorm in the swing states, many voters will make
up their minds on an issue important to working Americans-jobs. What
are the realities of the current jobs recovery, which some say is
meaningless because of lower wages? NOW returns to Jefferson, Wisconsin -- a state where the candidates are dead even in the polls - for a look at how a small-town's way of life is being shaken by job loss. Jefferson, already reeling from a year-long strike over wages and benefits at the local Tyson Foods plant, now is grappling with the
arrival of another corporate behemoth: Wal-Mart.

MICHAEL ZWEIG

Bill Moyers sits down with Michael Zweig for a look at policy changes,
he says, are designed to serve big business and the corporate elites at the expense of America's working class. Are changes in labor laws, tax law enforcement, and the war in Iraq all offensives in a class war on working Americans? Zweig is Professor of Economics and founder of the Center for Study of Working Class Life at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He is the author of, THE WORKING CLASS MAJORITY: AMERICA'S BEST KEPT SECRET, and is editor of WHAT'S CLASS GOT TO DO WITH IT? AMERICAN SOCIETY IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY.

KATHLEEN HALL JAMIESON

Just days left until the election, and it's expected to get ugly. There are tens of millions to be spent on campaign ads and the candidates' message wizards are working overtime. For what's being said and what it means, David Brancaccio turns to NOW analyst Kathleen Hall Jamieson.

KEVIN PHILLIPS

Both candidates have said their relationship with God is personal, but
more and more, faith is making its way onto the stump. How is religion being employed by the campaigns as the election closes in? Bill Moyers gets in-depth perspective on this and the week's news from returning NOW analyst and author Kevin Phillips.
