80% Of US Adults Are Near Poverty, Rely On Welfare, Or Are Unemployed
Despite consumer confidence at a six-year high, the latest AP
survey of the real America shows a stunning four out of five U.S. adults
struggle with joblessness, are near poverty, or rely on welfare for at
least parts of their lives amid signs of deteriorating economic security
and an elusive American dream. Hardship is particularly on the rise
among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among whites about
their families’ economic futures has climbed to the highest point since
at least 1987.
“Poverty is no longer an issue of ‘them’, it’s an issue of ‘us’,” as
‘the invisible poor’ – lower income whites – are generally dispersed in
suburbs (Appalachia, the industrial Midwest, and across America’s
heartland, from Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma up through the Great
Plains) where more than 60% of the poor are white.
More than 19 million whites fall below the poverty line of $23,021 for a family of four – accounting for more than 41% of the nation’s destitute – nearly double the number of poor blacks and as one survey respondent noted “I think it’s going to get worse.”
