Up for discussion on Tuesday at 11 PM Eastern/10 PM Central on PBS and at pbs.org is the health of the American Dream. Is it dead or alive?
University of Texas Austin’s Mechele Dickerson has been researching three of the Dream’s key elements: owning a home, having stable employment and retiring debt-free and financially secure.
