A new study has found that the number of people living in poverty in the United States has increased by more than 45 million since 2000.

The study, which was conducted by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, found that the number of people living in poverty increased from 28.1 million in 2000 to 73.3 million in 2019.

The study also found that the poverty rate has increased for all major demographic groups, including children, adults, and the elderly.

The increase in poverty is due to a number of factors, including the recession that began in 2008, the rising cost of housing and healthcare, and the decline in wages for low-wage workers.

The study's findings are a reminder that the problem of poverty in the United States is a serious one. It is a problem that affects millions of Americans and it is a problem that is only getting worse.
