. For example, employers statewide added 945,000 jobs in 2022, the most of any state in the nation.
However, California’s dip was relatively meek. It was the state’s smallest poverty decline since 2016 after dropping by 2.8 million over five years. California isn’t alone. It’s closely followed in poverty share by Florida at 12.7%, Mississippi at 12.5%, New York at 11.9% and Texas at 11.3%. Start with California. Poverty slipped as it lost 136,000 residents overall. Only Illinois’ 172,000 population dip was worse among the states – as its poverty count fell by 1,000.AFFORDABILITY:Conversely, look at Texas. It added 413,000 to its overall population, the No. 1 gain nationally. Florida added 305,000 residents, No. 2. It’s not a coincidence these same two states also topped the rankings of largest poverty increases.
