Jobs Aren't Enough: Toward a New Economic Mobility for Low-Income Families - Softcover

"This book is highly recommended, and its in-depth treatment of the historical and social context of concentrated poverty and policy alternatives would make it particularly useful in a graduate seminar....The editors have done a remarkable job of putting together a volume in which each chapter seems to build on the examples and policy recommendations of the others. Rather than being an assortment of articles on a theme, the chapters together create a `collective wisdom' of community economic development." -Journal of American Ethnic History

Examines the obstacles to economic mobility for low- and increasingly middle-income families
