*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and Human resource management* Title: The Rise in Material Hardship Among Working-Class Whites and How It Could Impact the 2020 Election *Source:* The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) *Authors: * Mariko Lewis, Yixia Cai, Shawn Fremsted *Date:* Oct 25, 2020: *Summary: * Lower-income whites without college degrees were the largest group of voters who voted for Obama in 2012 but switched to Trump in 2016.
