Focus on Poverty & Classroom Supplement 38(1), March 2022 – One Recession, Disparate Recoveries: Assessing Change and Stability Following the Great Recession

Do you use Focus on Poverty in the classroom? Please take a short survey!

In this issue of Focus on Poverty, we highlight four articles featured in a recent edition of The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (Vol. 695, 1) edited by IRP affiliates Timothy Smeeding, Jennifer Romich, and Michael Strain. The editors asked the overarching question “What has happened to the American Working Class since the Great Recession?” and, in turn, examined many facets of the Great Recession to reveal nuanced experiences across demographic groups throughout the extended recovery leading up to the current COVID-19 pandemic.
