Poverty in the United States, and More from CRS
“In 2012, 46.5 million people were counted as poor in the United States,” according to a newly updated annual report from the Congressional Research Service. “The number, statistically unchanged over the past three years, is the largest recorded in the measure’s 54-year history.”
“Poverty in the United States increased markedly from 2007 through 2010, in tandem with the economic recession (officially marked as running from December 2007 to June 2009). Little if any improvement in the level of ‘official’ U.S. poverty has been seen since the recession’s official end, with the poverty rate remaining at about 15% for the past three years.” See Poverty in the United States: 2012, November 13, 2013.
