Poverty rises in Gaston County amid unemployment surge
The Gaston poverty rate climbs from 15.0 percent in 2007 to 20.5 percent in 2030, far above state and national levels, with unemployment nearly doubling to 11.6 percent in July 2011. Donny Hicks of the Gaston Economic Development Commission links higher poverty to job loss and calls for federal aid and business recruitment. BREAD Ministries reports a 24 percent rise in September clients, reflecting more families seeking help as the economy tightens. Gazette reporter Wade Allen.
