Worldwide economic growth by income:

That little negative bit.... That is lower-middle class America.


Middle skill production type jobs.
(Due to influx of cheap labor and massive reductions in available work. NAFTA sucks...)



Now combine that with the fact that there are as many people age 18-34 living with their parents as there are living out of the house and you can see the potential for homelessness.


Take away family support (IE- no parents to move back in with or a set of divorced parents (or single parent) that is unable or unwilling to take back in the up-to-34-year-old and you have a homeless person.


Also, most homeless people are under age 34. Real homelessness doesn't fit the '60 year old war veteran' stereotype that is so often portrayed.

So basically, when we eliminate middle class jobs, reduce real-world pay for millions of Americans over the course of decades, and reduce available job positions- don't be surprised when homelessness starts growing... :/

I just hope that Trump will follow through with his stated foreign financial policy positions and start rebuilding the middle class. AND hopefully when he is out in 6 years, the Republican party will have woken up to the fact that we can't continue to sell out manufacturing and other middle class jobs to support corporation's bottom lines.
