Fissures in locals’ approach to violence in Boston’s communities was starkly apparent at a recent press conference held by Rev. Kevin Peterson’s the New Democracy Coalition where residents of the area came out in impassioned protest and frustration.“Why you are at Bowdoin and Geneva?” a woman who said she lived in the area for 41 years asked Peterson. “We have a plan.

That said, wages for production and nonsupervisory workers — which make up the majority of U.S. workers and aren’t in management positions — advance...
