In a recent podcast, Sheldon Danziger shared his research on poverty levels and trends in the U.S. and made suggestions on what the Obama Administration could do to help bring people above the poverty line.

The Obama Administration has already made some short-term policy changes, but Sheldon suggests a long-term strategy is vital in decreasing poverty levels.
