Research Update & Plans

Throughout the week, I have continued to look for statistics regarding poverty and education on the Census Bureau website. However, there are less case studies about the correlation between poverty and education and more on that of work and poverty. But if you think about it, education plays a factor in a person's type of work.
Higher education leads to a more prestigious job while a lower level of education leads to a less prestigious type of job. The higher the level of education, the higher the level of thinking. The higher level of thinking, the higher prestige of one's job (typically, of course).

I have also found out that poverty is usually found in specific areas, those living in poverty are less likely to be spread out, but more likely to live in an environments that have people with a similar economic background. Therefore, studies on work and poverty will also be incorporated into my overall project.
