| The tax cuts have failed to do the trick, and the recovery has so far not been of a size sufficient to create jobs. Ominously, a new study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York says this recession's job losses have been far more structural and permanent than in the past. Now, a new job czar has emerged like the Wizard of Oz to signal that the presidential election cycle is upon us. The agony of the jobless deserves the fullest attention of the president and his eager rivals, and federal action more ambitious than the addition of employment for one happy undersecretary in the Commerce Department |
Meanwhile children living in poverty increased:
Quote:
| WASHINGTON -- For a lot of Americans, it didn't matter that the country emerged from recession last year. According to the Census Bureau, nearly 1.4 million more people in the United States ended up in poverty last year. Almost half were children. While the poverty rate for children rose, it dropped for people 65 and over. The survey finds that about 12.4 percent of the population lived in poverty. That's nearly 35 million people. |
