9% of Working Americans Consider Themselves Poor
The number of working Americans who classify themselves as poor has fallen to its lowest level in more than three years.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Employed Americans shows that a majority (65%) believe they are in the middle class, while another 21% classify themselves as upper middle class. Nine percent (9%) say they are poor, while just five percent (5%) consider themselves wealthy. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
