I think mike and I are posting, three years later, because of the slate.com article.
I bailed after high school because even in the late nineties I could see that unless I wanted to go into construction or work a menial service service industry job kissing tourist ass, I would have to leave the old pueblo.
What I would like to know about the high numbers of people living in poverty (of which I was a part of) is, are the chronically homeless included in the stats? And, if this article is about the whole of Pima county, are the Yaqui and O'odham reservations included too? If so, the label "off the charts poor" makes sense.
