An Inside Look at Poverty and Its Many Causes with Howard Pickett

"It’s easier to predict the future income of a child based on parental income than it is to predict the future height of a child based on how tall mom and dad are.... [I]t doesn’t mean we can totally predict it, but it does mean that our income status is somewhat predictive. It’s ‘sticky,’ not deterministic."
~ Howard Pickett
