New! The 51st State: America’s Working Poor

While poverty has traditionally been a problem only for the unemployed, a new demographic of Americans has emerged—the working poor. This program explores the disturbing realities that many people in low-wage jobs face everyday—such as having to decide whether to pay the rent, buy groceries, or see a doctor. The film also draws connections between America’s immigration challenges and the swelling numbers of working poor.
