About 40 million U.S. jobs pay low wages and lack healthcare or pensions or both. That leaves tens of millions of Americans struggling with poverty. Yet a new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research says American views about poverty continue to blame it on a lack of effort. The report says that appeals to reduce poverty that emphasize a moral duty to help the disadvantaged or lament the unfairness of poverty run into pre-existing strong perceptual screens that resist those arguments.
