You read it here :) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg162045.html According to the Census Bureau poverty numbers always increases after a recession. I can't find the numbers now but I did post them here before, I think there was 10 million people entered the workforce over the last couple of years while the people in poverty only went up by 1.1 million. Manufacturing jobs, the entry-level blue-collar jobs, have been declining since the 70's. I do see car manufacturing coming back somewhat to ease the problem but not stop it.
