Fewer on Aid Yet More In Poverty Grips South Carolina
In Columbia, working poor like 40 year old Shalia Corley line up for food banks during Thanksgiving while poverty rose in the 1990s. Census data show 569,000 in poverty in 1997, up 6,200 from 1996, yet welfare and food stamp caseloads fell due to welfare reform and tighter rules. State unemployment stood at 2.5 percent, with median income at 33,325 in 1997, below national average.
