CWN - September 03, 2012
In a statement for the Labor Day holiday, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has expressed dismay that poverty has not been a major issue in 2012 political campaigns.
The statement, issued by the USCCB justice-and-peace committee, and signed by Bishop Stephen Blaire of Stockton, California, notes that there are 12 million Americans currently unemployed and another 10 million who could be classified as the ?working poor? because their job earnings do not provide adequate income.
?Our nation needs an economic renewal that places workers and their families at the center of economic life and creates enough decent jobs for everyone who can work,? the USCCB says.
