Kids & Poverty

Nearly 4 million American children now live with parents who have no jobs. That's a million more than in 2000. And it'd 5% of the 72.5 million kids in America.

The Annie E. Casey Foundation found the numbers in their latest study of kids and poverty.

The Foundation suggest governments incorporate job training programs along with programs to treat depression, domestic abuse, and other problems that make it harder to find and keep a job. (BaltSun)
