Poverty rate higher? California has highest poverty rate in the country.
Depends on how you define poverty. Once you adjust for COL, California’s poverty rate is quite high. Some of the poverty rate metrics you see do not adjust for cost of living, even though a 1 bedroom apartment may only cost $600 in MS but $2,000 in CA.
Really? I would have expected New Mexico would be at the top of the list.
“Poverty rate higher? California has highest poverty rate in the country.”
Yes, and it’s because of 11% pay increases and $2,500 bonuses for a bunch of worthless A$$holes who aren’t worth half what they are being paid. Just had to go to the local USPS to pick of a package. They certainly don’t kill time by working it to death! Virtually everyone in the place is a minority and they act “protected!”
Actually Mississippi has the highest poverty rate in the US. California is about 35th in the nation.
