The amount of poverty in the U.S. increased by about 4 million people to 43.7 million people in 2010. This is the highest in the last 51 years which was released by the U.S. census. In 2010, one of seven people in the U.S. live below the poverty line, or with income less than $22 thousand per year. This puts the level of poverty in the U.S. to 14%. As a percentage, is the highest since 1994. This was conveyed by the U.S. Census Bureau. Data on the number of people without health insurance in the U.S. also reached a record is pathetic. There are 51 million people in 2010 who did not buy health insurance. This amount is up from 2009, which amounted to 46.3 million. This figure was the highest since 1987.
Poverty in the U.S. happen to black people and Latin people. About a quarter of blacks in the U.S. and Latin in the U.S. live in poverty. As for whites and Asia, only 12.5% living in poverty.
Faced with this data, President Barack Obama would immediately take steps to help millions of American people still survive in the midst of the economic situation is still sore from the financial crisis that hit.
