Causes of poverty
Policy analysts are trying to explore ways to recognize and direct cause of poverty in the United States to establish effective policies to reduce poverty Work of scholars such as Corley (2003),. Sowell (2004), Iceland (2006), Jencks (1992), James Tobin (1993) and others. Have shown that the dour nature of poverty as a result of not any one factor but The interaction of a variety of reasons.

While those who work outs to schools have been low-paid on an hourly basis. Between 1960, when – president United States Lyndon Johnson started the war, the United States. In poverty, 'he placed emphasis on education. (Jencks, 1992) Lyndon Johnson administration, even investing in programs such as Head Start and professional training to upgrade.

Low low quality of education support Inner-city schools in the marketing skills that lead to less employment and less. related miseries such as the ability to pay less for food, accommodation, clothing, medical services to poor Neighborhood problems funding for schools and increase the risk of illness. (Corley, 2003).
Many scholars suggest that structural change is the main reason for the persistence of poverty in the United States. Structuralists. Focus on issues such as unemployment. Discrimination in education Institutional racism and economic conversion to explain the causes of poverty. Scholars can not confirm that the silver good for American families and some did not work. Public policies to reduce poverty, Americans are basically consequences of failure of structures and processes. Poverty is rooted in the structure of American society.

Globalization, the expansion of the credit card market leads. indebtness more and lead to recession Foreclosures in the year 2008 all of the growth of poverty Iceland (2006) principles and economic factors has suggested that poverty is a product of deindustrialization. U.S. to shift from manufacturing industry, social service social tech many The work of art to be less blue. But money has gone or better. outsourced, such as rural Appalachia, loss of mining jobs, and cities such as Detroit lose manufacturing jobs many factory automation or overseas. Some people can not work or travel to work within the neighborhood without having to hire or taxes necessary to support Social functions such as public transport, schools and other police. Others can not find jobs because of economic changes in the service economy. These people have lost their jobs because of structural changes necessary Tobin (1993) supports this view and highlight the disappearance of jobs in a decade. 1900 is a major cause of The failure of countries to eliminate poverty The latest employment data showed that U.S. housing slump and credit crisis in the U.S. market is more frightening levels of poverty. Isidore (2008) said that widespread job losses as the construction sector. 51,000 Sueng lose jobs and manufacturing employment dropped from In 2008, 48,000 retail jobs dropped 12,000 jobs and employers and professional services business by reducing staff.

Kelso (1994),. Argued that during the past forty years has changed the importance of American people first in the west and south. This change because of the cold war and the U.S. government's decision to expand the military. (Kelso, 1994) he argued that the U.S. chooses to invest more in defense and aerospace. Industrial cities such as Seattle and From Los Angeles on the West Coast boom, while the growth of technology and information technology to lead to prosperity and growth of California San Francisco Bay area after the expansion of the interstate highway system and growth in the market was built in the south.
Iceland (2006) also argue that while the service sector of the economy has created millions. However, more polar income distribution of educational attainment than separately. From paid work to pay less. He supports the Marxian analysis of class conflict and exploitation and focused business owners prefer hiring cheap labor to increase profits. Also account In the inflow of cheap labor in the United States from Mexico and other Greater access to credit has put cars credit cards and home computer to the other. Many of the working poor. But this remaking of the market with low-income consumers in the dark. Roubini added that "access to the credit will help low-income people. But rather an opportunity to move up the social and economic conditions, it becomes a debt trap many try to move. up (expand and Epstein, 2007).
While helping people and projects both at the federal and state poverty persists. Careful analysis of the situation and effective policy is needed. To poverty in the United States.

And the difference between the poor in the United States by ethnic lines have made many scholars predict that institutional racism very responsible. Poverty in the United States. Racial discrimination in employment and education contribute to the growth of poverty Some scholars like Massey and Denton. (1993) interpret the statistics of institutional racism, while another Such as Kelso (1994) interpret the statistical evidence of lack and suffering of blacks. Despite efforts. Remove racism. Slavery and the separate Jim Crow, Massey and Denton (1993) confirmed that racial separation persists and causes of poverty in Africa based Americans can separate They confirmed that separation has created and Common Black perpetuated by limited educational opportunities and employment. Massey and Denton (1993) found that Blacks were viewed in the home. racially mixed areas or areas adjacent to the black majority areas.
In addition, changing patterns of family collection of ethnic movements. Model family is one of the causes of poverty in the United States. There is a wide field of gender wage In 2004 the median income of FTYR person is $ 40,798 compared with men. $ 31,223 for female workers FTYR (DeNavas – Walt et al, 2005) Pearce (1978). Argue that the poor 'is quickly becoming a female problem. Iceland (2006) supports this statement and found that in the year. 2000 poverty rate of female (12.5%) to 26% higher than male rates of poverty. (9.9%) (Iceland, 2006) by Iceland. Women have less economic resources, and people tend to be a single parent family heads. It also leads to more. likehood a single divorced or widow is less than male counterparts because of their social security income or retirement income other than high female life expectancies than women low wages and low retirement benefits of a growing number of single mothers have made some scholars to talk about Feminization "of poverty.

(Blank, 2007) By mid – 1990, concerns focus on policy change to combat poverty, reduce dependence on welfare President Clinton signed the Personal Responsibility and reconciliation work.

When Bush took office in years. 2001 we have experienced over the country's unemployment and poverty has decreased for the year and economic boom. Now almost six years later.

The analysis of the above questions that are responsible for their own condition. The above analysis indicates that the recipient is free and sluggish because many welfare measures. Scholars such as Murray (1984) and Kilty and Segal (2006) have emphasized personal factors. They confirm that the welfare measures and the lack of spirit and motivation. indigents support poverty Danziger, 1999 argue that the era Nixon added measures to promote welfare passivity Kilty and Segal, 2006 to argue that poor people can come out from the sufficient condition.

States benefit programs.
Most states took important decisions on reform and the decision is appropriate in terms of target states and experiences. Some states do not provide serious policy reform. New York has the deep divide that does not take a decision about AFDC (Grass, 2002) Alabama and Missouri were pushed into reform by federal action and welfare policies have shown themselves less. (Pasture their 2002) in several other southern states. Other (Florida, policymaking North Carolina) appears as a government official and personal with the proposed legislation or the reform plan. apparently, little inquiry or evidence behind them. (Grass, 2002) policymaking Texas has no state claims are contiguous to track jobs first But the policy of the beta testing and focus distance. Education and Training (pasture. 2002) government has always focused on reform But sometimes reduced to a part of these plans make failure all of the program. Mead (2002) argue that in Florida and Georgia. But officials have dragged into reform But little is committed to. In Arizona and California, or local agencies have committed very large. Is the emphasis on skills to resist changes to the welfare and work first. In Texas welfare reform is a priority lower than a new executive program does not work and welfare Other projects in Colorado and New Jersey, local authorities have a history of defiance of state government, and this makes them fully endorsed the reform decision in the capital. Grass (2002) argue that despite the establishment of Employment Services. (ES), supported by federal agencies and training positions under the Federal Training Partnership. Act (JTPA) the poverty rate did not improve. After running the program of the National Welfare has enacted the first time in years. 1967, ES participate in welfare. However, because of the job.

Reform of the State of Colorado related to poverty reduction in the rate. The close of 2000 unemployment rate of Colorado dropped 2.6 percent, personal income earnings constant. If the welfare of the state decreased significantly, and state legislation. wrestled with approximately $ 833,000,000 surplus revenue (Colorado Fiscal Policy Institute. 2001), but despite all the poor, the fact remains as expenses such as child care from the bag of medical and geographic differences. – Graphic in the costs of housing increased.

Suggestion
