Report: Indiana has more jobs, but poverty rate increases
2015-04-12 23:06:15| IT Services - Topix.net
A decline in good-paying manufacturing jobs in Indiana and growth of lower-wage service jobs has led to a 29 percent increase in people living in poverty in the state since the year before the Great Recession and a widening in the income gap between whites and some minorities, a report shows. "The recovery is uneven in who it affects," said Derek Thomas, senior analyst at the Indiana Institute for Working Families and author of the agency's 2015 report on the economic status of Indiana families.
