And now the Equity and Excellence report, commissioned by the US Congress, says the US education system is largely to blame. So what has become of the American dream? Despite growing up with economic hardships do you still have the opportunity for prosperity and financial success through hard work? To discuss this, Inside Story Americas is joined by guests: Sean Reardon, a professor of education and sociology and author of The Widening Income Achievement Gap; Mary Bruce, a senior education adviser for the public policy firm, Civic Enterprises; and Sylvia Allegretto, the co-chair for the Centre on Wage and Employment Dynamics at the University of California. At Al Jazeera English, we focus on people and events that affect people's lives.

Our impartial, fact-based reporting wins worldwide praise and respect. It is our unique brand of journalism that the world has come to rely on.
