Appalachia Economic Crisis Reveals Growing Underclass Struggle
A CORA study reports widespread poverty and hunger across 13 Appalachian states. It cites 350,000 manufacturing jobs lost from 1982 to 1983, 123,000 long-term unemployed in the region, and rising service sector employment, with coal and steel closures shrinking traditional industries and eroding self esteem among residents. The findings, presented to the Commission on Religion in Appalachia, call for national attention to regional hardship.
