Word of the Week #8

STAGNANT

I found the word stagnant in an article on Yahoo! News titled “College costs shot up 8 percent this year”.

“College tuition costs have nearly tripled since 1980, accounting for inflation, even as median wages have remained stagnant over the same period.

stag·nant adjective characterized by lack of development, advancement, or progressive movement.

Students have been greatly affected by the stagnant economy.
