"The Census Bureau today said the poverty rate climbed to 14.3 percent, or roughly one in seven people living in the U.S., from 13.2 percent in 2008. That's the highest poverty rate since 1994. Moreover, the official poverty threshold -- annual income of $10,956 for an individual or $21,954 for a family of four in 2009 -- is cleared by many Americans who barely eke out enough to support their families."
