On August 26, the U.S. Census Bureau will release data on poverty and family income for 2007. In anticipation of these new data, the National Center for Children in Poverty offers the following resources that may be helpful for talking about the numbers:
Ten Important Questions About Child Poverty and Family Economic Hardship
Statement on Establishing a Modern Poverty Measure (submitted for congressional hearing held July 17, 2008)
Demographic State Profiles (check back after Labor Day for the new data!)
We encourage you to check out these resources and use them as a starting point for discussion in your family, community group, small group, or Sunday school class.
