On 17 September 2014 The Christian Science Monitor reported: Poverty in America declined in 2013, and the poverty rate went down faster for children than for adults -- which is notable not only because they are children but also because the poverty rate for children has long been higher than for adults. The poverty rate for children fell nearly 2 full percentage points last year, from 21.8 per cent to 19.9 per cent, according to the US Census Bureau. The poverty rate for all Americans also declined, to 14.5 per cent from 15 percent a year before. It was the first meaningful decline in poverty for children since 2000, and for the overall population since 2006. The declines are due largely to an improving job market -- which has lifted the living standards not only for the newly employed but also for their children. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the field of business, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
