The Wall Street dollars are more striking than the figures on poverty rates in the Big Apple, but under its brilliance lies a shadow that remains remarkably elongated in this post-recession. A family of two adults and two children will be considered officially poor in New York if you make less than $ 30,949 a year, although the parameters of the U.S. government placed the $ 22,811 limit. In the latest report by the city administration this week the number of people who approached or exceeded this threshold in 2011 was almost half the population of New York.

Some 46% of New Yorkers earned less than 150 percent of the amount established as the poverty line, including them in a group that has difficulty making ends meet: the near poor. Those who earn only 50% of the poverty level qualify within the group not receiving food stamps, or may benefit, in most cases, other types of aid. The subsidy cuts threatens to further complicate things. Government aid, calculates this study, have prevented poverty figures to soar even more.
The price of housing and the cost of child care, among other things, is significantly higher in New York than in other U.S. cities. For that reason and because it considered that the method employed by the federal government to measure the purchasing power of the population were outdated, in 2006 the newly formed Economic Opportunity Commission proposed to employ new parameters, which are discussed under indirect aid people receive (tax breaks or food stamps) and take into account a range of factors.
The report, led by Mark Levitan and made from a sample of 25,000 households, indicates that poverty rates increased in the period 2008-2011 in three of the five districts or boroughs of the city: Brooklyn (up 1.6 percentage points to achieve 23.9%), Queens (rose by 4.8 to 21.2%) and Staten Island (increased 3.9 points to 15.3%). Although the employment rate rose in 2011 over the previous year, the study notes that "the income of economically vulnerable families have not increased, but the recession-related decline has slowed."

This analysis of the NYC Center for Economic Opportunity, an agency created by Bloomberg to study strategies to help fight poverty, comes just two months after the New York State made public the other side of the coin, ie its annual report on remuneration on Wall Street. It reveals that such controversial bonus in the business center, which so shocked after the debacle of 2008, up 8% and stood at $ 121,890 on average-calculation that includes from which he received a secretary to a trader or executive Senior, which differs in each case reaching much larger numbers in these latter cases.
The title of the novel by Dickens, Tale of Two Cities, is the term used by the organization that includes the soup kitchens in the city, New York City Coalition Against Hunger (NYCCAH) to describe the paradoxical situation. The fortunes of the city billionaires grew 11 billion in a year to reach 211 trillion, "annual income equals four million families in the middle of New York," says the organization in its annual report. His estimate of the number of people who have fallen under the poverty line in New York is 1.6 million, or one in five. So it seems that it was never more true that old saying proclaiming that this city is for the very rich or the very poor.
