Editor's Notes
The key economic benefit to continue to highlight from the HIA is the 24 jobs created in the first biennium. Although this is a small number, every job counts during this economic recession. Oregon’s unemployment rate is higher than the national average, and rural counties have even higher levels of unemployment than urban counties. Rural counties will receive 31% of the jobs and 27% of the dollars from this policy. The general economy only provides 18% of jobs and 15% of dollars to rural areas right now.22% of the population is in rural areas.
13.9% F.I. households, 6.6% with Hunger. (2007-09, Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement, USDA ERS)Families with children more likely to be F.I. 19.4% children in poverty in 2009 (USDA ERS)1 in 5 non-metro households w/children (2002-04 ACS)1 in 10 metro households w/children (2002-04 ACS)48.9% -children eligible for free/reduced lunches (2009-10, ODE) From 2005-06 to 2009-10 # of student eligible for free lunch 20% (ODE)Nearly HALF of children eating free and reduced mealsSeven of seven studies indicated an increase between 1.3% and 16.0% in all types of meals including free, reduced and fully paid, the average of 6 of the 7 studies was 9.3%Although these programs report a falling off, or a plateu of the initial increase, they maintain some level of increase. Even if that’s only 1% - this can mean a gain for school districts.
