Big cities once lifted generations out of poverty. Now, they entrench it.
New research by @dyligent.bsky.social, @tkemeny.bsky.social et al. shows that since the mid-20th century, upward mobility has shifted to smaller towns.

🚨 New Research: The American Dream is Dying in Big Cities

Wealth in the U.S. is increasing concentrated in the hands of the few. My work with @dyligent.bsky.social & @joelsuss.bsky.social shows *where* the wealth is, which cities are the most unequal and how trends have evolved. My new piece for @theconversation.com brings you up to speed. bit.ly/40gqvoZ
