A companion to the 1970 Census, this book presents 28 profiles of individuals and families -- their lives at home, on the job, and in their neighborhood -- with lots of photos and historical images. These stories portray both struggling, and successful Americans, and capture a wide range of thoughts and emotions. From the many government surveys, social worker histories, economic data, family diaries and letters, and newspaper and magazine features, this reference assembles a personal and realistic look at the lives of a wide range of Americans between the years 1970-1979.
