description: Revised and expanded for the 1990's, this new edition of Working But Poor examines the experiences and hardships of today's poor workers and analyzes how government policies can best relieve deprivation and encourage work. In profiles of poor workers, the authors examine the severity of income problems and analyze the nature of low-wage job markets. They also assess the impact of unemployment, technological developments, immigration, and international trade on this complex and persistent problem.
