Not only is it not "completely out of context," in fact roughly speaking, 6 million is probably pretty close to the difference of the normal trend over time had continued that you noted over the last 50 years. this american life How ever you count it, you are this american life still talking over a million new people in poverty every year since 2000 even after adjusting for the population increase. No, thats not "quite small." It may not be the worst 4 year period in the last 65 years, but it is among the worst, and significantly below average. |

Re: Say that to millions more living in poverty by zyxwvutsr at Wed 31 Aug 12:26pmscore of 1 irrelevant in reply to comment 44 ...it might help if you pointed out how the current number of those ecards living in poverty and the increase from 2000 is "out ecards of context"...Because it doesn't take the increase in total population into account. Would you be impressed if I told you that the ecards number of people in 2000 in poverty (31 million) was greater than the number in 1980 (29 million)? Sure, there are 6 million more poor people than in 2000, but there are also 7 million more who are not poor. [ ...reply just to this | comment on the story... | next new ] 58. Re: Say that to millions more living in poverty by Catch22 at Wed 31 Aug 1:01pmscore of 1 in reply to comment 48 Adjusting for the increase in population does provide a better figure, but providing the raw numbers still is informative and hardly anywhere near as problematic when comparing 2004 to 2000 as it is when comparing 2004 to 1980 as you suggest. |
