1. MTLINCS Research Item #5: Low Parent Education
RISK 2: Low Parent Education Deters Children's Learning
Today, one in four U.S. working families is low-income, and one in five American children lives in poverty. And in many of those households, the parents or caregivers are employed, but they lack the education and skills necessary to earn family-sustaining wages.

Question:
With the economic problems that our country is experiencing, is your program encountering an influx of individuals who, as the report above states, are lacking "the education and skills necessary to earn family-sustaining wages"?
