4. Poverty rate
rose in 2008, Cen
sus reveals
In the recession, the nation’s
poverty rate climbed to 13.2
percent last year, up from 12.5
percent in 2007, according to
an annual report released
Thursday by the Census Bu
reau. The report also docu-
mented a decline in
employer-provided health in
surance and in coverage for
adults.
The rise in the poverty rate,
to the highest level since 1997,
portends even larger increases
this year, which has registered
far higher unemployment than
in 2008, economists said.
