the working poor

Individuals in menial jobs with immense student loans and paltry wages. They are white and black, Latino and Asian--men and

women in small towns and city slums trapped near the poverty line, where the margins are so tight that even minor setbacks can cause devastating chain reactions. They are known as the working

poor.

“Nobody who works hard should be poor in America,”David Shipler - Pulitzer Prize winner

the working poorShipler shows how liberals and

conservatives are both partly right–that practically every life story contains failure by both the society and the individual. Braced by hard fact and personal testimony, he unravels the

forces that confine people in the quagmire of low wages. And unlike

most works on poverty, this book also offers compelling portraits of

employers struggling against razor-thin profits and competition from abroad. With pointed recommendations for

change that challenge Republicans and Democrats alike, The Working

Poor stands to make a difference.
