Economic Mobility:
Is the American Dream Alive and Well
Is the American Dream Alive and Well
This report also discusses the implications of new analysis showing that the strength of America’s rising economic tide has not benefited significant segments of our citizenry. Gone are the days when a stable, single income was enough to launch the next generation toward growing prosperity. In modern America, upward mobility is increasingly a family enterprise. And during a time of rapidly shifting household structure, this has significant repercussions for the economic mobility prospects of millions of Americans.

The United States sets precedence for most of its surrounding countries. It is not surprising that the topic is addressed because even in the smaller countries, family unity has been the driving force of progress with the individual within the family. The question is, what about those who are not given the priviledge to have a jump start to help the family progress? How do we as a society help those persons who struggle to survive to find a beginning? Does the progress of this country only remain with those who are priviledge to have a start and the rest can sink or swim or do we find a way to reach back and help them have a start? This ecomonic mobility, is it for the chosen few?
