Child Poverty Creates Jobs

Income Inequality Near You

The chart below shows income inequality in the 818 largest counties in the U.S. Use the search box to find your county by address or ZIP code.

It uses what is known as the Gini index, a statistical measure that ranges from zero, which would describe a community in which every citizen has precisely the same income, to one, which would describe the opposite extreme, in which one person receives literally all of the income.

Here you will find child poverty by state, county or Congressional District.  You will also find in comparison to income inequality measurement of the same area that there will be a correlation to the number of children in foster care because poverty is legally abuse and neglect.

Even though it is more cost effective to invest in the best interests of the child by assisting in accessing the basic needs of resources,  it is economically better for the poverty industrial complex to perpetuate conditions of poverty to sustain the oldest model of rebuilding a nation.

In short, child poverty creates jobs so it only makes sense to keep people poor and over look the fraud.  Just ask Maura Corrigan.
