The Hamilton Project of the Brookings Institution recently released an update of its study on poverty in America. For the past few years, the Hamilton Project has released an annual report characterizing poverty in America. The latest one, “Who was Poor in the United States in 2017,” is intended to describe who is poor, inform anti-poverty policy, and aid in determining eligibility for means-tested programs.
