The Working Poor by David K. Shipler
Invisible in America
A compassionate investigative account of Americans who work long hours yet remain trapped in poverty, examining how low wages, unstable employment, inadequate education and training, discrimination, health crises, and weak social supports combine to prevent economic mobility; based on reporting and interviews, it highlights the everyday realities and systemic barriers these families face and argues that both policy reforms and greater public understanding are needed to address persistent working poverty.
