The Loss of Jobs and the Rise of the Underclass.
Hill, Norman
American Educator: The Professional Journal of the American Federation of Teachers, v12 n2 p16-19,45 Sum 1988
William Julius Wilson's "The Truly Disadvantaged" blames the rise in the Black urban underclass on the rapid, systemic, and structural changes in the economy in the 1970s, which left Black unemployment at a spectacularly high rate. His insights should be acknowledged and his recommendations heeded. (BJV)
