Pedro: The United States vahard mg "Families who are low income … are most likely to experience unemployment and are also least likely to have the wealth resources to help buffer that period of unemployment," says Erin Currier, director of the Economic Mobility Project. Families that experienced long-term unemployment were the most likely to tap into any resource they could find, including selling their homes or draining long-term savings accounts, which Currier says jeopardizes parents' economic mobility as well as that of their children.
