US poverty figure rises for 4th year

The number of Americans living below the poverty line rose for the fourth successive year during 2004, extending the gap between rich and poor in the world's wealthiest nation.

The US census bureau said the number of people living in poverty rose to 37 million, up from 35.9 million in 2003. The percentage in poverty increased from 12.5% to 12.7%.

The latest figures mean that the number of poor Americans has grown every year under the Bush administration, despite an economy that has been growing robustly. They also provide some evidence of the lack of impact the much trumpeted tax cuts have had on the less well off.
