State-Level Data Show Recovery Act Protecting Millions from Poverty

The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities authored this report on the effects of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act for individual families. State-level data show that the Recovery Act has protected many families from poverty by raising incomes through its focus on tax credits, access to food stamps, and other measures. Researchers estimate that 6 million families were kept out of poverty by the Act in 2009.
