My Opportunity (Testing the Hypothesis)

2. The persisting income gap continues to worsen as lower income workers are unable to improve their own situations, and continuously receive fewer resources than higher income workers.
Who- Lower income workers in the US
What- They are unable to advance their careers
Why- They receive less resources than higher income workers
3. Testing:
Who else could we target? Almost everyone has the need of career advancement, but I am specifically targeting low-income workers in the US, because their need is not addressed. People with a partial college education, for example, obviously have career aspirations but were unable to complete their degree, and now have the opportunity to further their abilities. Recovering addicts or teen moms may also have this need, since they may have had goals that they were temporarily unable to achieve.
What can we do to start/ where should we target people? Low income areas would obviously be a good start, but do we target all people in these areas equally?
Are there other "whys". What are some other solutions to the problem? Maybe there's something else to blame. For example, providing them resources doesn't necessarily help them in their current situations, especially if they can't provide their own families with care. Maybe looking at cheaper child-care would be a better alternative.
4. Interviewee 1: Homeless people may also need help in advancing their skills to try and gain employment. They could use help in career workshops or getting interview attire. If these people gain skills and have higher paying jobs this should help to decrease the gap. Notoriously low income areas, or areas with government housing should be targeted. Some of these people are better off than others. Our government also segments people by stereotyping and allowing them to "mooch" off the government. In this way, the government could be the blame.
Interviewee 2: Lower income students could also benefit from these resources. For example, students who have completed the GED or didn't receive a four-year degree could use this. Although this may help the problem, an income gap will never be fully fixed, because lower-income people can't afford the same resources. Areas where 30% or more of the population are below the poverty line should be targeted.
Interviewee 3: Any blue-collard worker, regardless of income, because those jobs are disappearing. Also, people who can't afford college and have to go straight into the workforce could benefit. Working with temp agencies could allow you to access different groups of peoples. There is an inconsistent growth between how much things cost and how much money people make, which causes the income gap to grow. Targeting this side could be a better approach.
Interviewee 4: Unemployed people and people who want to change jobs could also use these services. Community centers could be places to address the problem, including hosting resume workshops. This also may not solve the problem of hopelessness, so maybe working to offer counseling to these groups could benefit them more.
Interviewee 5: Everyone is affected by the income gap, and there's always someone in a worse financial position than you so there will be a large market involved in this opportunity. The minimum wage could be adjusted to tackle this issue. There is an opportunity on the low end of the wage gap to increase their lives. People with low wages should be incorporated into a solution.

By conducting these interviews, I discovered that there is a lot of consensus about which population of people should be targeted to solve this problem, so an opportunity involving people with low or no wages would be ideal.
