Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-

H. Res. 1024 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
January 27, 2010. 
Whereas, in 2008, the Census Bureau found that the number 
of people living in poverty has jumped by nearly 
2,600,000 to 39,800,000, the highest number since 1960; 
Whereas that same report found that the percentage of peo-
ple living in poverty, 13.2 percent, rose to the highest 
level since 1997; 
Whereas, in 2008, the number of children who lived in pov-
erty increased by 744,000 to 14,000,000; 
Whereas the share of people in the United States who have 
incomes that fall below half of the Federal poverty line 
reached 5.7 percent, or 17,100,000 people, its highest 
level since 1994; 
Whereas the next Census report on poverty will likely illus-
trate higher levels of poverty as the report will reflect 
data from 2009, a year in which the economy experienced 
substantial job loss and historic levels of long-term unem-
ployment, leading some experts to project that the overall 
poverty rate may increase by 1.5 percentage points and 
the percentage of children living in poverty may increase 
by 6 percentage points in the next report; 
Whereas, between 1989 and 2000, the overall poverty rate 
declined by 1.5 percentage points and child poverty de-
