http://federalsafetynet]
While the poverty rate for the population as a whole is 13.5% the rate varies greatly by race.* Blacks have the highest poverty rate at 24.1% and Non-Hispanic whites the lowest at 9%.**
The Poverty rate for Blacks and Hispanics is more than double that of non-Hispanic Whites. * **

Overall 10.4% of the families in America are in poverty. *Families headed by a single female have a Poverty Rate of 28.2% - about five times higher than married couple families.**
There are 15.6 million families headed by a single mother which represent 19% of all families in America. *But 4.5 million of these single mom families are in poverty which account for an astounding 52% of all the families in poverty.* These statistics are the basis for the conclusion that marriage is one of the best defenses against poverty. **
U.S. Poverty Statistics – Working Age Adults*
[
http://federalsafetynet]
Adults that work full time have a low Poverty Rate of 2.4%, which is not surprising.* The 2.5 million full time workers that are in poverty generally have low paying jobs, such as a minimum wage job paying $16,000 per year, and have two or more children thus pushing the family into poverty
It's more poverty related then race related!
