On this gripping ethnographic account, Roberta Iversen and Annie Laurie Armstrong study the obstacles to financial mobility for low- and more and more center-income families in 21st century America. The 'voices' of twenty-5 households in Milwaukee, New Orleans, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Seattle and of hundreds of people who are linked to the households' lives, present that the historic myths about alternative, advantage, and 'bootstraps' are outdated and, in some cases, downright harmful for a lot of urban workers and their families. Iversen and Armstrong show that the social establishments of family, schooling, labour market and coverage all intersect to influence mobility. "Jobs Aren't Enough" proposes a new mobility paradigm grounded in cooperation, collaboration, mutuality and revitalization of the 'public will' to maximize both "household and profit."
