A household receives food from a pantry in Utah. Nationally, the poverty rate is down, but that’s unlikely to last due to an end of pandemic-era policies and a looming recession.SAN ANTONIO — Tragedies, hardships and misfortune have been of this world and the human condition since time immemorial. But the human ability to minimize hardship and harm has improved with time and technology.
The Census Bureau found the poverty rate in the United States reached its lowest level on record in 2021: 7.8 percent, down from from 9.2 percent in 2020. These are national numbers. In the city of San Antonio, one of the poorest big cities in the nation, 17 percent of households were living below the poverty rate in 2021.
A collaboration between the New York Times and Child Trends, a nonpartisan research group, discovered that child poverty in the United States has fallen 59 percent since 1993 and has dropped in every state. Reasons for the decline include lower unemployment, increased labor force participation among single mothers and an increase in state-level minimum wages.
