Abstract: In 2010, according to the United States Census Bureau, among the over 46 million people living in poverty in the United States, approximately 13.2 million (29%) were Hispanic, making them the racial/ethnic minority group most respiresented among the poor. This said, economic growth, expanded income support policies, and efforts to eliminate explicit discriminatory practices contributed to falling poverty rates and a narrowing of the racial and ethnic gaps in poverty before the Great Recession (Cancian & Danziger, 2009). However, large disparities in poverty have persisted, even after the Great Recession that struck a devastating blow to the US . . .
