Poverty rates dip as total falls for first time in a decade
The 1994 poverty rate drops below 15 percent to 38.1 million, the first year both rate and total declined. Growth of 4.1 percent aided unemployment and lowered poverty, though the rich pull away and the gap persists. Median household income held near 32,264 dollars, with black households gaining 5 percent. Analysts note a slow recovery, while policy debates hinge on anti-poverty programs and tax credits.
