Too Little, Too Late?
My colleagues and I wrote a piece yesterday analyzing the new findings from the Census Bureau regarding household income, poverty, and health insurance in 2006.
These results are important in that they give us the first close look at how different types families fared last year. Every five minutes, we’re updated on the latest squiggle in the stock market, but it’s only once a year that the Census Bureau tells us how the typical family is getting along or how many kids are poor in America (btw, see section “Trust the Trend” in the EPI report re poverty measurement).
