It seems that the economic downturn has affected many people in negative ways. One thing that is happening is that the number of poor people in the country is increasing. A new study found that the poverty rate of Americans is increasing alarmingly. The news is expected to play a role in the upcoming elections.
For many people, jobs will be at the top of the list when they go to the voter’s booth. The stagnant job growth has worried investors as well as kept many people worried about the future. I hope that America can overcome this adversity and become the great nation we once were.
