REPORT: Underwater: What’s Sinking Families in Philadelphia – Oct 2019

The American Dream is eroding in Philadelphia. Incomes that used to provide a comfortable middle class life are no longer enough to even cover the basics. Even families who are near the median income – an income that should solidify their middle class status – are drowning.

The parents in these struggling families bank on the hope that their children can move up the economic ladder, becoming more prosperous as adults than they, the parents, were.  The bleak situation facing Philadelphia families will only change with large-scale action.

Các chính sách được nêu trong báo cáo mới nhất của PCCY, Underwater: What’s Sinking Families in Philadelphia”, phải được thực hiện, nếu không chu kỳ căng thẳng tài chính sẽ không bao giờ kết thúc. Những đứa trẻ trong những gia đình khó khăn này sẽ trở thành thế hệ tiếp theo của những gia đình khó khăn. Giấc mơ Mỹ sẽ trở thành Cống nước Mỹ.
