Work and Education After the Pandemic: Who was left behind?
This report draws on in-depth interviews with Poverty Tracker participants to better understand the experiences of low-wage workers through different stages of the pandemic. Their stories show that while the effects of the pandemic may be fading for many, workers with low-wages have incurred substantial debts and continue to struggle as they re-imagine and retool their work lives.
The Poverty Tracker is a longitudinal study of the dynamics of poverty and disadvantage in New York City. It is a joint project of Robin Hood and Columbia University.
