MUST WATCH OF THE WEEK: 60 Minutes: Hard Times Generation: Families living in cars
This weekend, 60 Minutes aired a piece that has been commended by many as a shocking but must-see insight into poverty in the United States today.
Sixteen million children now live in poverty, and for many, they don’t even have a proper place to call home. These situations are even more frequent in areas of the country where traditional industries have collapsed in the wake of the financial crisis – such as the construction industry in central Florida.
Hard Times Generation reveals the stories of families struggling so much that they are forced to live in their cars.
