next five years the move could generate two million jobs and it comes amid hopes that the country is finally pulling out of the depths of recession but with the number of americans facing poverty at a fifty year high millions are still fighting for survival. but. welcome to silk city. this once was what the industrial revolution looked like in the united states. now this is what poverty looks like in this town more than twenty percent are poor more than seventeen percent unemployed it means for many here ninety m. is a time to go to work. just to find down it's time to head to the food pantry for charity . they are low income roves some of them have been unemployed for almost two years is what we're seeing

but on average it's the underemployed. there are people who can't make ends meet people like jenny like the one who are going tomorrow and it's not enough you know it's just not enough to get all the poor we need and the numbers are only growing and we saw in two thousand and nine a fifteen percent increase over the two thousand and eight numbers and we're anticipating that that number will go up by another ten percent at the end of two thousand and thirteen not only here but in the entire u.s. new statistics for two thousand and nine show forty three million people one in seven are living in poverty this is the most people sure sure in more than fifty years that's when they first began tracking these numbers here you can see one reason they want to look for twenty's are few and far between especially in the old urban industrial cities are rather simple as in so many cities in the united states manufacturing used to power this one these were still factories that now are decrepit boarded up sitting in disrepair there are signs everywhere here of the u.s. manufacturing jobs have disappeared or gone overseas tax free were full of the low

level jobs that these folks with will shields what about leno you know and leaving them lining up in droves for a little heat we now see prepare about twelve hundred meals a day now it will be serving about four hundred. people. are free wheeling some of the work and here some are at the homeless not surprisingly always on call been made there are twenty percent more mouths to feed here eva's kitchen you can hear it why do they know we're now in some kinda works like for one who has an incurable disease blues no furby goes to work or for so many of us used to be a truck driver yet he still can't afford lunch and experts say the needy are needier than ever are they more poor yes that i can say and here on the ground for from washington and wall street there is no sign of an economic recovery for these

people in sight if i don't see recovery. they have no thanks for their politicians i don't know what's going on with the government i don't know was the press the door. for me is on the air in the room rather. in the urban decay of silk city gratitude is reserved for the help with recovery they do know. you know you share you they count for lauren lyster r.t. patterson new jersey. and with officials the figures showing up forty three million americans are currently living below the poverty line max wrong will an economist at the new school university says the numbers could be even worse. well seeing numbers this large one in seven american adults living in poverty in just about one in four to five american children shows us that the sheer numbers and the percentage of americans who are being systematically failed by the american economy

and it gives you a little bit of a taking of the temperature of just how severe the pain is in so many households and so many neighborhoods and so many cities so many states so many towns there's every indication from the data flow that next year will be worse than this year because the numbers that we're looking at today and in two thousand and nine and we're already three quarters of the way through two thousand and ten and every trend that made the poverty the severity of poverty worse last year is very much in place this year and i would also add that we have really high poverty numbers here with an actual poverty rate an income that you need to get that or less to be considered poor in the united states that's so low that if you do a more realistic calculation we really have more like nineteen percent of our public in poverty not even the fourteen so in some level i would say to president obama it's already worse than it looks and i don't think that's quite good enough as a message when you're failing our economy is failing so many people well on a lighter note the presidents of russia and ukraine have decided to swap their

usual state cars for something a bit more retro to meet the. cold which have been spotted at the wheels of vehicles dating back to the middle of last century heads of state have been taking part in a rally with cars made when the two countries were both part of the soviet union race connects russia st petersburg have been both leaders seem to enjoy their experience so perhaps we'll be seeing them revving up retro style more often. that brings you up to date this hour coming up next artie's martin andrew and his team samples of moscow's best cuisine from the far east time japanese and vietnamese food you can find it all here in the russian capital.
