This unflinching examination of the obstacles to economic mobility for low-income families exposes the ugly reality that lies beneath the shining surface of the American Dream. The fact is that nearly 25% of employed adults have difficulty supporting their families today. In eye-opening interviews, twenty-five workers and nearly a thousand people who are linked to them children, teachers, job trainers, and employers tell wrenching stories about "trying to get ahead."

The 1990s have been an exciting time for researchers working with large collections of text. Text is available like never before.
