At Risk: America’s Poor During and After the Great Recession - Truthdig
leadwithoutauthority:
This White Paper examines the impact of the Great Recession and its aftermath on poverty in America. Our focus is not only the well-being of the poor but the near poor and the “new poor,” the millions of families who are entering poverty because of the Great Recession’s terrible toll of long-term unemployment. The Paper examines the recent trends in poverty, nationally and in the 50 states, in the context of the well-established risk factors for poverty: age, race and ethnicity, family structure, educational attainment, and employment.
