Did You Know...?

Rural mothers with children under age 6 have higher employment rates than their urban counterparts, but have higher poverty rates, lower wages, and lower family income. See Carsey Institute Fact Sheet, Fall 2007.

"Did You Know...?" is a feature of the Vision 2020 website. It's our goal to bring you a series of facts about numerous issues related to poverty and to highlight the work other organizations are doing around poverty elimination. If your organization has a fact(s) you'd like to see on the "Did You Know...?" feature, please contact Vicky Selkowe at vselkowe@wccf.org or
