The Working Poor in America

The concept of "post treatment of the poor" by poor people working in the United States has occupied an important position in the reform era after welfare. As the welfare rolls shrink, the focus shifts from the poor to working poor. Clearly, even without extensive external assistance, even households hiring full-time low-wage workers still earn less than the official poverty line. American society insists that everyone can prosper if they work hard, but as many opportunities are inadequate or unfortunate, more and more families can not realize American dreams and even break the cycle of poverty It is obvious that you can not do even that.

In 2014, we asked our own investigation on how low-wage workers are concentrated in Congress district. We created an online interactive map with a report (poor in the US) that shows the number and percentage of workers who benefit from minimum wage growth in each region. In recent years, the people and the environment along the Gulf Coast of Mexico have suffered a series of terrible blows. When BP's oil spill in 2010, the coastal community still killed hundreds, has destroyed homes and businesses, recovered violently from several devastating hurricanes that hit wastelands, fisheries and other areas I will. Oyster reefs were destroyed.

Becoming a poor man in the United States is very difficult. Forget the stereotypes of lazy people and grab autonomous and diligent government charitable groups. Indeed, millions of poor people are working full time, but their wages are low, and 40 hours a week is not enough to free them from poverty. According to the US Census Bureau, a family of four need to earn approximately $ 23,000 per year to live above the poverty line. Working full time working at the minimum wage throughout the year does not allow you to approach this number. We have millions of people - actually 8.9 million working adults - they are working full time, but they can not get out of poverty in their families. More and more poor people face is that mothers and fathers are trying to provide food, housing, clothing, and education for children.

In the United States, I like to help Jesus without shoes, iPhone, expression, bugs, and no street. These are poor people who fail; they only wish to change in your pocket. (Please congratulate their heart.) But the work of the poor? People who claim that there is not enough food to earn money, because clothes necessary for work, bath and laundry water, rent, winter heat, day care money, working smart phone, car insurance, gasoline are also necessary - mother If you are purchasing food stamps, the angry conservatives have shouted to their father and children to use the food stamp, so the US has the right to hate you. As they like good steaks, women proved that conservatives disliked them. I think she is a kind person, nice person, church audience. We all think that everyone else is jerk. There are not so many violent and voluntary ways there. How often do you lock your car?
