might be at record lows, but safe house outreach says they have seen an increase in the number of underemployed>> on a given year we'll see about 4,000 people. >> reporter: this is the report being presented to the united nations, it finds if you are one of the 40 million americans living in poverty, you are likely to stay that way. the american dreamidly becoming. work working for tips can often earn as little as $4.13 an hour and have to make until rest in tips to make the minimum wage of $7.25. >> they are not liveable wages. these are crumbs from your table. >> reporter: nolan is direct are tore of the outreach program. >> at least 40% of the people that we serve are workingare tore of the outreach program. >> at least 40% of the people that we serve are working holding down two or three job. >> reporter: they talk with people struggling living below the poverty line. one man in a park started convulsing in front of us. the u.n. report found unlike other wealthy nations, the u.s. has neglected its signed sbh international agreements which say that access to health care and food are basic hu

you know, to your point, ben, also, the long-term underemployed have lost their factory jobs. it looks like they're getting them back. what do you think. >> it has been sort of a miracle. i mean, i hate to think maybe i'm dreaming this, and i'm going to wake up, and it's not true. but it is miraculous recovery in manufacturing. i don't think it has to do with the trade deals. i think it just has to do with a general optimistic feeling. mr. trump has kind of a magic he gives off, which encourages people. you see in israelis. people are credentialed by him. and when i meet people in business, they love him. when i meet people in teachers unions, they hate him. by the way, you said a moment ago the manufacturing people are the bases of the democrat party. that used to be. now it's the teachers union. liz: that's interesting. you know, ben, i think all of this is going on even before the tax cuts are fully in effect right, ben? final word. >> that's absolutely true. and as i say, there is something about him that just makes people feel better. not in the teachers union, not in the

her family instead of working the second or third job to make ends meet, you become critically underemployed. it's a vicious circle. it's there. that is how i would address this. >> anyone else? >> sure. i deal with recovering addicts all the time. i guess again, what we have started to do at least with the reentry program, people recently released from incarceration, we try to connect them with the people currently going through a stage in their addiction, addressing it first, a lot of times in this culture, people have to reach their bottom but if you are trying to address this positively, you just have to keep it within the outreach and understand why, different people are getting high or seeking to be high and connecting them to the multiple- choice of what happens if you continue to be high. there are all types of programs out there and the ones that are successful are the ones that have people that haven't been forced by the parole officer or by the judge or priest or family member, the most successful programs i've worked with are the ones with people who have hit rock bottom and want

something every unemployed or underemployed american is a failure of entrepreneurial imagination. ms. hymowitz: are there other countries that do a better job of job training? retraining? there is some sense in which scandinavian countries do bit better, but the educational systems are so much stronger in lots of dif dimensions. there's a lot to admire in germany's system. i think most of us would have trouble with tracking system that basically looks at a person at the age of 13 and says your job is you are going to be h reid for the rest of your life or a garage mechanic or whatever it is. but job training and combining that with serious vocational training on top of that. familiesd in which work less, i think we should have other programs. --mr. avent: one second, i just wanted to follow that. one second, i just wanted to follow that. janesville, one of the most interesting parts is the re-skilling section, the survey of those who had been laid off from the gm factory. and follow up with those who had been through reskilling and those who did not, and those who did not work in

family instead of going to work the second or third job to make ends meet and you become critically underemployed. it's a very vicious circle that's there. that's how i would address it, congressman. >> anybody else want to take a pop at that? >> sure. i deal with recovering addicts all the time. so i guess, again, what we've started to do, at least with the re-entry programs where people have been recently released from incarceration, we try to connect those folks with the folks that are currently going through a stage in their addiction. addressing it first, i guess a lot of times in the culture people have to reach their bottom. if you're trying to address it positively, i think you just have to keep in tune with outreach, understand why different folks are getting high, seeking to get high, and really connecting them to the multiple choice of what happens if you continue to get high. there are all types of programs out there. the ones that are successful are the ones that have people that have joined that haven't been forced by their parole officer or by a judge or by a priest or by a family

where thousands of people are unemployed or underemployed, who can't afford it. legislative evil. when you rob the poor, it's regressive and politics of rejection. and now we have the attorney general saying i'm not going to defend voting rights and i'm not going to defend health scare. >> and what kind of politician, wul 20 states run by government legislatures to fund the lawsuit. they didn't want the medicaid expansion. they didn't want the rules about preexisting condition. 24% of voters in our nbc/"wall street journal" poll say they're enthusiastic about repealing obamacare. 1915% said they're comfortable with taking away health care potential from themselves and other people. so what kind of people, people in this country, a lot of them? >> that's right. well, it says something about our moral politics and what has happened. there's a lot of factor in this, number one, it's closing gaps to be aggressive with triple-down tax cuts. they've named obamacare as a racial code word, when you hear people not working those are racialized code word that fools to have

but there's almost this cruelty of you're going to remain unemployed, you're going to remain underemployed. you're going to remain undercompensated. you're not educated well enough to come into the mainstream. and we've demonstrated in the last several months that doesn't have to be the america we live in. that we're seeing individuals who were subti marginalized in our society finding employment and finding opportunity and finding that economic vitality and growth. and i think actually for a lot of us, that's our struggle. we're looking for a way to humanihe sty,haturns out a robu actually really good for families, for individuals, for your future, for just the individual psyche. and maybe there's an artist out there of language who can help us find an elegant way to say this story. mr. biggs: well, you've done a grood job tonight. you've talked about your starbuc experience. you talked about the young man who is re-entering from the prince -- these are powerful stories.
