June Foodstamp Recipients Hit All Time High As Three Times As Many
Americans Enter Poverty As Find Jobs

Following a brief period in which it seemed that US foodstamp recipients
may have peaked, with those living in poverty maxing out at 46.514
million in December 2011, and then declining modestly for the next few
months, June saw a new surge in those Americans living in poverty and
thus eligible for foodstamps, with 173,600 new entrants into the system,
bringing the total to a new all time high of 46.670 million and once
again rising fast.

Furthermore, with subsequent emergency events affecting the heartland
due to the drought, the administration has made sure even more Americans
will be eligible going forward. As a result expect the July and August
numbers to promptly surpass 47 million on their way to the psychological
resistance level of 50 million. Indicatively, the 173,600 increase in
Foodstamps recipients in June was three times greater than Americans
finding jobs (64,000, most of which part-time) according to the BLS.

Finally, a new record was also breached for American households on
foodstamps, which now hit 22.4 million, an increase of 106,298
households. The average benefit per household decline once more, this
time to $276.5. Not an all time low, but just above it.
