William Julius WilsonBackground History
(b. Dec. 20, 1935, Derry Township, Penn., U.S.), African-American sociologist whose views on race and urban poverty helped shape U.S. public policy and academic discourse. In two seminal works,
Wilson maintained that class divisions and global economic changes, more than racism, created a large black underclass. In When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor (1996), he showed how chronic joblessness deprived those in the inner city of skills necessary to obtain and keep jobs.

Concluding Thoughts and Perspectives
With the disappearance of work, self-efficacy fails and jobless rates will skyrocket.
No matter how far you are down the road, getting discouraged will only set you back halfway.
“Life is what you make it. No one is going to give you something for nothing”
Current political situations should enable us to address social inequality in America.

Conclusion Continued
One has not succeeded in America unless one can pass the chance for success on to one’s children.
We must break the cycle of joblessness to improve future generations for the new labor market and global economy.
