Re: True, but not decisive. by PerryStroika at Wed 31 Aug 12:16pmscore of 1 in reply to comment 38 After family reading the report, I thought it was interesting that the increase in family poverty, both in the rate and the real numbers, was confined to a fairly small area of the country. You don't find that curious? I don't find the geographic concentration in these states to be quite so intense as to merit saying that. There is bound to be regional variation in a country so large, as well as within states. Urban and suburban poverty rates diverged a long time ago for instance. |

| You don't find that curious?What is very interesting is that this increase occurred in a year when GDP figures indicate healthy economic growthI agree, and I think my comment above gives beer us some more food for thought on the matter. Poverty is only loosely linked with GDP, and the linkage is through employment. I'm sure you're aware that past recoveries saw a decrease in unemployment that fairly quickly followed the beer increase in GDP, but that this recovery beer is different. The difference suggests a considerable structural change in the US economy, and the fact that there is a concurrent change to the geographic distribution of poverty could well be significant. There are some things that the states on the list have in common such as the fact that most are rust-belt states. There are other things that they do not have in common — roughly half the states on the list are below the national average unemployment rate, and half are above. The topic certainly merits further study and further discussion. |
