Poverty rises blamed on unemployment and weak tax credits
Census official Nelson notes survey results fit a downturn. Greenstein argues unemployment and insufficient child tax credits and unemployment insurance push more families into poverty. Thresholds vary by household size, with 2002 poverty at $9,359 for a single person under 65 and $14,480 for a three-person household with one child.

Rescue teams recovered the bodies of Melissa Rogers and Al Larsen as part of a weekend flood disaster. Three Rogers children were found earlier, with the fourth later, all in drowned vehicles near a stretch of the Kansas Turnpike beneath Jacob Creek.
