The article discusses the widening chasms between the educated and working classes over the past two decades. Key disparities are noted in health outcomes, with uneducated individuals dying eight years earlier than their educated counterparts. Family structures are also impacted, with uneducated women far more likely to have children out of wedlock. Additionally, socioeconomic factors lead to diminished social connections and poorer educational outcomes for children from low-income families. Despite the challenges facing the working class, President Trump has yet to prioritize policies that address these inequities.
Over the past two decades, the gaps between the educated class and the working class have grown wider, impacting health outcomes, family structures, and social connections.
Daniel Markovits from Yale highlights that the current education gap between affluent and non-affluent students surpasses historical racial disparities, reflecting severe systemic inequities.
