Interpret the chart? What is the title of the Chart? Under the column with the word Label, the first row is “population for who poverty status is reported.” This is the US population. What is the total US population? Now scroll to the right and find the column “Percent Below Poverty”. What percentage of the US population is below poverty? Now scroll back to the column with the word Label and scroll down to the row “sex” and write down the number of men in the US, and the number of women in the US.  Scroll down to the row “race” and tell me how many Whites are in the US and how many Blacks are in the US. Then scroll over to column “Percent Below Poverty” and write down the percentage of Whites and Blacks in the US in poverty. With this information, consider the fact that there are proportionately more African Americans in poverty than Whites. Choose one of the theories described by Barrera to explain this difference?
