MP Dan Jarvis has invited Conservative MPs to visit Barnsley to see how the economic crisis is affecting families in the town.
Mr Jarvis said families were facing either stagnating wages or a lack of secure jobs and were at 'breaking point'.
"Any economic recovery should be one that benefits us all, not just a few at the top, predominantly in London and the South East," the Barnsley Central MP added.
His comments follow the release of a report by Labour MPs which said Yorkshire is falling behind other parts of the country.
It shows unemployment is worse than anywhere else and is rising, says young people are being let down most by the government and the jobs in the region offer low wages and limited hours while the cost of living continues to rise.
The average wage in Yorkshire has fallen £1,721 since 2010, equivalent to £140 per month.
