Food-Stamp Use Climbed to Record 46.7 Million in June, U.S. Says | |
THE INQUISADOR Offer Upgrade User ID: 1577310 United States 09/04/2012 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another bad sign.. A record 46.7 million Americans received food stamps in June, up 0.4 percent from the previous month, the government said. Participation was 3.3 percent higher than a year earlier and has remained higher than 46 million all year as the unemployment rate has stagnated just above 8 percent. New jobless numbers will be released Sept. 7. “Unemployment is stubbornly stuck,” making it difficult to significantly reduce the number of food-stamp recipients, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in an interview last month. “While people are going back to work, and there are jobs being added, they aren’t being added at a clip that is as robust as anybody wants.” [link to www.bloomberg.com] Last Edited by THE AMERICAN INQUISITOR on 09/04/2012 10:34 AM :nose23l36: SCOTLAND FOREVER America is the Grand Experiment..Let us not Fail..
