CBS is reporting that the poverty rate in the US has increased for
the second year in a row to 12.1 percent, an increase of about 1.7
million people.

On the same page there's a story headlined "Economy Picks Up Steam",
which does not mention the poverty figures.

This is an economic indicator: US irony production remains strong.
