Well the second paragraph of the press release you quoted reads:

" The nation's official poverty rate in 2009 was 14.3 percent, up from 13.2 percent in 2008 — the second statistically significant annual increase in the poverty rate since 2004. There were 43.6 million people in poverty in 2009, up from 39.8 million in 2008 — the third consecutive annual increase.

Certainly pointing toward an increase in the poverty level in this country.

Regards,

Jerome
