Poverty among kids varies by state and time
The report notes 13 percent drop in children with a working full time parent, with Alaska seeing a 48 percent rise and a 23 percent decline in young child poverty. Connecticut cites small sample size. Massachusetts showed smaller increases. In 1996 about 5.5 million children under six were in poverty, while 1993 peaked at 5.5 million and 1980s levels were lower. The official poverty line in 1996 was $16,036 for a four person family and $12,516 for a three person family, with many families of poor children earning less than half that.
