A Constitutional Right to a Job at a Living Wage; Notes; Suggested Web Resources for Further Reading; Selected Bibliography; IndexAcross the United States tens of millions of people are working forty or more hours a week...and living in poverty. This is surprising in a country where politicians promise that anyone who does their share, and works hard, will get ahead. In Ending Poverty As We Know It, William Quigley argues that it is time to make good on that promise by adding to the Constitution language that insures those who want to work can do so-and at a wage that enables them to afford reasonable shelter, clothing, and food.Poverty - United StatesWages - Law and legislation - United StatesWages - United StatesWages - United StatesPoverty - United States.Wages - Law and legislation - United States.Wages - United States.Wages - United States.331.2/15331.210973Quigley William1477809AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910778160003321Ending Poverty As We Know It3693258UNINA
