Income mobility was also higher in two-parent households with better education and more civic engagement. Children who moved at a young age  from a low-income home to a higher-income, lived just as the kids that were already receiving a high income. The people are different and the place itself has an effect. ]]> 2018-12-03 05:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jsanchez1721/8nnpw1qqlgc9/wish/310278116 jsanchez1721 https://padlet.com/jsanchez1721/8nnpw1qqlgc9/wish/310280059 The government has a lot of say in what goes on in our economy but there is only so much they can do to help every single person in the US to become successful.

The incomes of Hispanic and Asians are becoming close to those of White Americans, however those of African American and Indian are not. It is shaped by childhood environment. Results show that the black-white gap in upward mobility is driven primarily by environmental factors that can be changed.]]> 2018-12-03 05:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jsanchez1721/8nnpw1qqlgc9/wish/310280468 jsanchez1721 https://padlet.com/jsanchez1721/8nnpw1qqlgc9/wish/310282195 People who moved at a young age from a low income household to a higher income household were more likely to become successful and more likely to stay married.]]> 2018-12-03 05:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jsanchez1721/8nnpw1qqlgc9/wish/310282195
