The Growth of Food Stamp
posted by Djouls at 4:36 AM
The other day I came across this infographic depicting the number of Americans who received assistance from the government in the form of food stamp from Sept. '08 to May '09.
For the full infographic, click here.
"While some economists are declaring the recession over, and although the stock market continues to rise, those on the bottom of the economic ladder are seeing fewer improvements to their day-to-day lives. The number of Americans who receive assistance from the government in the form of food stamps continues to rise—the total number of food stamp recipients is now up to more than 10 percent of the total population. Here is how many people have been using food stamps for the nine months from September, 2008, to last May."
It shows that 10% of the total population actually receives food stamps. How many people in need but nor receiving are there, I wonder.
