KIDS COUNT

10/01/2009

The 2009 Data Book, The Building Blocks for Successful Children (PDF), has found that 140,000 Minnesota children lived in poverty in 2008. That is more than a 20 percent increase since 2000. While poverty numbers for 2008 were released just days ago, they do not capture the current full economic impact of the recession.
