The world of welfare has changed radically. Poor single parents trade welfare checks for low-wage jobs, and their low earnings qualify them for a hefty check come tax time - a combination of the Earned Income Tax Credit and other refunds. For many working parents this one check is like hitting the lottery, offering a key ingredient to enhance the mobility of low-wage workers: hope. It's Not Like I'm Poor looks at how working families plan to use this annual cash windfall to build up savings, go back to school, and send their kids to college. By interviewing 115 families, the authors show how dreams of economic mobility are often dashed by the reality of making monthly ends meet on meager wages. In accessible and engaging prose, this book describes how the new welfare system offers hope for a middle-class life, even while upward mobility remains elusive.
