尼伯恩说，到2005年的时候，各大城市的郊区已经变成贫困居民最集中的区域。
Suburbia became home to the greatest concentration of impoverished residents by 2005, Kneebone said.
尼伯恩说，“如果他们干着工资最低的工作，收入下降或者停滞不前，他们就会发现自己已经处于贫困线以下了。”
"If they are working minimum-wage jobs and see their wages decline or stagnate, they may now see themselves below the poverty line," Kneebone said.
布鲁金斯学会高级研究助理伊丽莎白·尼伯恩说，“我们一想到贫困，最先想到的就是城市或者极其偏远的农村地区，但事实不是这样。”
"We think of poverty as a really urban or ultra-rural phenomenon, but it's not," said Elizabeth Kneebone, senior research associate at Brookings.
