WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Some 1.3 million Americans slid into poverty in 2003
despite the economic recovery, and children and blacks were worse off than
most, the government said on Thursday in a report certain to fuel Democratic
criticism of President George W. Bush.
The percentage of the U.S. population living in poverty rose to 12.5 percent
from 12.1 percent in 2002, the Census Bureau said in its annual poverty
report, seen by some as the most important score card on the nation's economy
and Bush's first term in office. The ranks of the poor rose to 35.9 million,
a boost of 1.3 million.
Health care coverage also dropped last year and incomes were essentially
stagnant, the Census Bureau said in its annual poverty report, seen by some
as the most important score card on the nation's economy and Bush's first
term in office.
