This book underscores the fact that there are many people who are trapped in an economic system that keeps them from moving ahead. The sticky Bottom and Just above Broke describes the condition that most welfare recipients find themselves in after leaving welfare rolls who are unable to find employment and paying them sustainable wages to live. They are left stuck at the bottom with no escape. In addition, there are many aspects of the welfare to work vendor programs of which the educational programs are inadequate. As a result of the diminishing values of our society, this situation goes undetected leaving those matriculating through welfare centers neglected and forgotten. This book illuminates the issues within this systemic condition and offers the idea of an intervention to ameliorate current conditions in our society.
