What is America Unequal (Russell Sage Foundation) (Russell Sage Foundation S) about?

220 pages : 24 cm, America Unequal demonstrates how powerful economic forces have diminished the prospects of millions of Americans and why \"a rising tide no longer lifts all boats.\" Changes in the economy, public policies, and family structure have contributed to slow growth in family incomes and rising economic inequality. Poverty remains high because of an erosion of employment opportunities for less-skilled workers, not because of an erosion of the work ethic; because of a failure of government to do more for the poor and the middle class, not because of social programs, Includes bibliographical references (pages 199-212) and index, The diminishing American dream -- Public policies since the war on poverty -- Trends in the level and distribution of income -- Demographic groups with persisting disadvantages -- Why poverty remains high -- Changes in labor markets -- Why inequality of earnings increased -- An antipoverty agenda
