Peter Schmidt from the Chronicle of Higher Education doesn’t focus on the gender issue, but I know from my reporting that there are significant gender gaps among the sons and daughters of white working class families. Anyone wanting to stay current on the issue needs to follow his blog and read his book, Color and Money.
