Re: Say that to millions more living in poverty by zyxwvutsr at Wed 31 Aug 12:26pmscore of 1 irrelevant in reply to comment 44 ...it might help if flash you pointed out how the current number of flash those living in poverty and the increase from 2000 is "out of context"...Because it doesn't take the increase in total population into account. Would you be impressed if I told you that the number of people in 2000 in poverty (31 million) was greater than the number in 1980 flash (29 million)? Sure, there are 6 million more poor people than in 2000, but there are also 7 million more who are not poor. [ ...reply just to this | comment on the story... | next new ] 58. Re: Say that to millions more living in poverty by Catch22 at Wed 31 Aug 1:01pmscore of 1 in reply to comment 48 Adjusting for the increase in population does provide a better figure, but providing the raw numbers still is informative and hardly anywhere near as problematic when comparing 2004 to 2000 as it is when comparing 2004 to 1980 as you suggest.
