Aiming Higher: Removing Barriers to Education, Training, and Jobs for Low-Income Women

This report is from the Women's Economic Security Campaign, and outlines barriers to social mobility facing low-income women across the United States. In March 2010, the unemployment rate for women with families was 11.3 percent, which is the highest it has been in the past 25 years. Authors offer recommendations on ways that low-income women can be supported by connecting them to educational opportunities, job training, and employment opportunities.
