FYI: Imagine a divorced 50-something white woman who used to work as a
teacher’s aide, a 30-year-old black man who lives with his mother after
losing his warehouse packing job, and a 25-year-old Latina single mother
with very little work experience. They may not have a lot in common, but all
belong to a category we call the “out-of-work population.” Their experiences
illustrate the varied backgrounds and circumstances of out-of-work individuals,
and they are a few of the composite personas developed as part of a novel way
of defining and understanding this population, described in further detail in
this report.
