American poverty figure edges up to 46.5 million The number of Americans in poverty rose slightly last year to 46.5 million, according to US Census data, despite a stock market recovery. The figure edged up from 46.2 million in 2011, meaning the national poverty rate remains unchanged at 15%. It is the sixth year in a row that the rate failed to improve, despite the US being out of recession since 2009. bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24139251
