The reality out there as more and more analysis and studies are done, and frankly, as governments try their best to put in place programs that move people along, is that we're finding more and more people taking advantage of opportunities to work. But even with working full time year-round, they're still living in poverty. Some of the studies that are done on child poverty are indicating that a lot of the children--and there are hundreds of thousands of them across the country--are living in families with a sole parent who is working full time and still not able to get their head above water.
