From today's ajc:
The overall poverty rate, defined as $22,314 for a family of four and $11,139 for a single person, climbed to 15.1 percent, or 46.2 million, up from 14.3 percent in 2009.
The poverty rate in Georgia increased to 18.7 percent in 2010, up from 18.4 percent the year before, according to the Census data.
A total of 1.83 million Georgians fell below the poverty line in 2010, an increase of about 60,000 from the year before.
I made that much in high school. How do people live off that and why don't they find something else to do? That always amazes the hell out of me...
