A Factory Closes: Structure, Stratification, and the Life Course

Captions available

This capstone follows one constructed manufacturing town through a plant closing, showing how the sociological imagination, the poverty line, and the labor market interact as one mechanism rather than separate stories.

Where people slip

One constructed case illustrates how these four measurements interact; it is not a data point, and no figure here is a reported statistic.
