How Many People Work In The USA And Are Still Poor?

June 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

In 2011, the US Department of Labor reported at least 10 million people worked and were still below the unrealistic official US poverty line, an increase of 1.5 million more than the last time they checked.

The US poverty line is $18,530 for a mom and two kids. Since 2007 the numbers of working poor have been increasing.

About 7 percent of all workers and 4 percent of all full-time workers earn wages that leave them below the poverty line.
