Abstract:
North Carolina has over one-million people who lack the minimum income to meet their family needs. A study conducted by the North Carolina Fund showed that contrary to the widespread belief, the average poor person works forty hours a week or more, would like more job training and wants their children to get a good education. This article discusses the study’s results and implications in North Carolina.
