as likely to live in poverty than any other age group (Lu, 2003). Given the state of todays economy, it is likely the rate will once again soar (Lu, 2003).
At his time: * 38 percent of American children live in low-income families; that totals 27 million children, 10 million of whom are under the age of 6. This figure
