The end of 2020 brought the sharpest rise in the U.S. poverty rate since the 1960s, according to a study released Monday.Economists Bruce Meyer from the University of Chicago and James Sullivan of the University of Notre Dame found that the poverty rate increased by 2.4 percentage points during the latter half of 2020 as the U.S. continued to suffer the economic impacts of COVID-19.That percentage-point rise is nearly double the largest annual increase in poverty since the 1960s. This means an additional 8 million people nationwide are now considered poor. Moreover, the poverty rate for Black Americans is estimated to have jumped by 5.4 percentage points, or by 2.4 million individuals.The scholars? findings put the rate at 11.8 percent in December. While poverty is down from readings of more than 15 percent a decade earlier, the new estimates suggest that the annual Census Bureau tally due in September will be higher than the last official, pre-pandemic level of 10.5 percent in 2019.Black Americans were more than twice as likely to be poor than their white counterparts in December ? an improvement from the summer months when they were nearly three times more apt to live in poverty ? but an increase from before the pandemic, when the differential was under two.https://tinyurl.com/yyrfjnfx-- Bozo Binned: Herring, Bert Robbins, JackGoff 452471atgmail.com,Just-AN-Asshole, Tim, AMDX, and Gunboy Alex, aka the Gang of Dull,Witless, Insult-Tossing Trumpsters.
