The Working Poor: Invisible in America (book)

*The Working Poor: Invisible in America* by David K. Shipler examines the struggles of low-wage workers who, despite working full-time, remain in poverty. The book explores how systemic factors like limited education, inadequate healthcare, and unstable jobs contribute to their ongoing hardship. Shipler highlights the personal stories behind these statistics, illustrating how invisible barriers and societal neglect keep many in a cycle of poverty. It aims to increase understanding of the complex realities faced by the working poor and calls for compassion and policy changes to address these persistent issues.
