The Severe Implications of the Economic Downturn on Working Families
Abstract
The Clinton economic boom witnessed a robust expansion of female employment, especially among single heads of households, and of wage increases, especially for low‐wage workers. However, the employment difficulties of African‐American men persisted, official poverty was reduced but not economic deprivation, and the vulnerability of children of single heads increased. Compared to the previous downturn, the current downturn is more severe when measured by employment losses and has hit women harder as a result of September 11.

In the citing paper
“Although material hardship is closely linked to income poverty, these are not synonymous. Some income poor families do not experience material hardship, while other families with incomes well above the poverty threshold struggle to meet their material needs [1,5,6,7].”

In the citing paper
“Our results support the growing consensus that income poverty and material hardship do not necessarily reflect the same experience of economic vulnerability [1,5,6,11].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
