America is the land of opportunity. So how should we respond when new evidence shows that some families actually feel discouraged from working harder for the American Dream?
On this episode, Nic Dunn sits down with Randy Hicks, president and CEO of the Georgia Center for Opportunity. They discuss new evidence of how families on the social safety net sometimes feel disincentivized from pursuing work and opportunity, and how the Georgia Center for Opportunity is trying to improve the nation's safety net and empower more families to escape poverty.
