Obama
White House to Adopt Second Measure of U.S.
Poverty Rate
Washington, March 3, (RHC).-
The Barack Obama administration has announced
plans to adopt an alternative formula for
measuring poverty in the United States.
Under the new approach, expenses including
housing, utilities, child care and medical
treatment will also be factored in.
The
new standard won’t replace the current federal
formula, which is based on the cost of food and
family income.
