Poverty Levels Rising
Poverty may be on track to rise to the highest levels since the 1960s because of a weak economy and dwindling government safety net.
The Associated Press says more discouraged workers are giving up on the job market, leaving them vulnerable as unemployment aid begins to run out.
It's not just the underemployed, poverty is rising at record levels to many groups including suburban families.

Are you noticing fewer Bank of America ATMs around?

Most of them have been removed from gas stations and malls where consumers could only take out cash, not make deposits.
Bank of America STILL has about 16,000 ATMs out there.
