Here are some sobering numbers from a recent report by the Brookings Institution—more than 30 percent of the nation’s population earns less than 200 percent of the poverty level in 2008—that is more than 90 million people.
The report explores the rise of poverty in the suburbs and the results are worse than they look. The study does not include 2009 when poverty and unemployment rose significantly. Happy Friday.
