A review of reports published over the course of 2014 on New Jersey would suggest that the Garden State take on some serious New Year’s resolutions.
The number of poor persons in New Jersey increased from about 935,000 to just less than 1 million compared to a nation-leading 63,600 between 2012 and 2013, according to U.S. Census figures. New Jersey joined New Mexico and Washington as the only three states to see significant increases in their rates of poverty between those years.
