Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage: 2011, Live on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal" "America by the Numbers" Segment

In 2011, median household income declined, the poverty rate was not statistically different from the previous year and the percentage of people without health insurance coverage decreased. Find out more on Friday, Sept. 14, at approximately 8 a.m. EDT as David S. Johnson, chief of the Social, Economic and Housing Statistics Division at the U.S. Census Bureau discusses statistics about income, poverty and health insurance coverage. Each Friday, C-SPAN’s “America by the Numbers” segment features information from the federal statistical system. The program highlights the trends and allows the public to call in or email their views. More information on previous C-SPAN programs is available at <http://www.census.gov/newsroom/cspan/>.
