The number of children living in poverty in Wisconsin has decreased from 2008 to 2009.
Correct. The answer is FALSE. In 2009, 16.7% of Wisconsin children lived below the poverty line. This represents about 214,000 Wisconsin children, 42,000 more than the previous year. Of those children, about 40% lived in extreme poverty, with family incomes less than 50% of the federal poverty level.”
