[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] they are here. but the farm jobs here are gone, they work at places like walmart (for instance): [b]In 2007, according to the Census Bureau, 37.3 million people, or 12.5 percent of the population, lived at or below the offi cial poverty level.1 Although the Nation’s poor were primarily children and adults who had not participated in the labor force during the year, 7.5 million were among the “working poor.” This level is slightly higher than the level reported in 2006. The working poor are individuals who spent at least 27 weeks in the labor force (working or looking for work), but whose incomes still fell below the offi cial poverty level. In 2007, the working poor rate—the ratio of the working poor to all individuals in the labor force for at least 27 weeks—was 5.1 percent, unchanged from the rate reported in 2006. (See tables A and 1, and chart 1.) Black and Hispanic workers continued to be more than twice as likely as their White counterparts to be poor. Asians were least likely to be among the working poor in 2007 Among families with at least one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more, those families with children under 18 years old were 5 times more likely than those without children to live in poverty. • Women who maintain families were more than twice as likely as their male counterparts to be among the working poor. Although 71 percent of the working poor were White workers, Black and Hispanic workers continued to be more than twice as likely as their White counterparts to be among the working poor.[/b] http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpswp2007.pdf [/QB][/QUOTE]
