Jul 9, 2006. Far away. I was wondering if one needs to retake the exams after a certain number of years if s/he decides to go into residency or fellowship training. I am aware that many states require the steps to be completed within 7 years...but not sure for how long they are valid. Oct 24, 2009. #1.
According to the 2014 U.S. Census Bureau ACS study (see charts below) 27% of all African American men, women and children live below the poverty level compared to just 11% of all Americans. An even higher percentage (38%) of Black children live in poverty compared to 22% of all children in America. The poverty rate for working-age Black women (26%) which consists of women ages 18 to 64 is higher than that of working-age Black men (21%).
Childhood poverty is a big problem for states that are among the poorest. Many have a child poverty rate around 25 percent. Even more grim is that in 2012, 46.5 million U.S. citizens lived below the poverty line, slightly more than in 2011. That's 15 percent of the country.
