Sherman...you must also know that Alaska has a lower poverty rate than the U.S. as a whole --

Alaska has one of the lowest percentages of individuals and families living below the official federal poverty line.


"A lower poverty rate (by a few percent) for Alaska than the U.S. as a whole is pretty consistent, at least back to 2000," said Hunsinger. "The Alaska-to-U.S. difference has been a little bigger in the past couple years, and this may be because Alaska was not hit as hard as the rest of the nation by the 'Great Recession'."
