Definición

  • SINCE THE FEDERAL definition of poverty is the in-come-based Orshansky measure, it is no surprise that there is a correlation between not working and poverty. In 2003 nearly two-thirds of those aged 25 to 65 did not work in the week prior to being surveyed by the Current Population Survey (CPS), compared to one-quarter of the entire CPS sample.
