Many Poor In Spite of Prosperity
A congressional staff study shows persistent poverty amid general prosperity. It highlights the South, farms, and nonwhite populations as disproportionately poor, with pockets of poverty in cities and other regions. The report covers 1948 to 1954 and notes rising high income groups while those with up to 2000 dollars yearly income show little improvement. It cites 1950 farm areas with serious low income and labor surpluses in 23 major markets plus 94 smaller areas.
