Are they suggesting low-income children (presumably their talking about this country) don’t get enough nutrition? It’s more likely they’ve inherited their parents intelligence...
My guess would be that poor people, on balance, are at the low end of the intelligence scale.
It’s really not that difficult to hold down a good job in this country.
They are suggesting that if you throw money at “poor” people, they would not have had this result. One of the researchers even said that since poor kids “went to fewer museums,” that affected their brain development.

That depends if you have some marketable skill or not. I’m an engineer at a factory where the unskilled machine operators make $28/hr with benefits. We are going through a serious slowdown and those unskilled people (who literally lucked into their jobs) are going to be hurting when laid off and all they are qualified at doing is unskilled labor.
