Is the uptick in elder poverty a blip or a sign of trouble? Last year, as the overall poverty rate in the U.S. hit a new low, the rate for seniors rose. Social Security checks are the only source of income for many older people, and some experts [worry that the challenges are a sign of things to come](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRlMFWgP0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMC8xNy9idXNpbmVzcy9lY29ub215L2VsZGVyLXBvdmVydHktc2VuaW9ycy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjIxMDE3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTc0OTAzJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTExMDI3MSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKY0Wg0E1jr4wFDVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). For many struggling seniors, the pandemic was the central driver. Those 65 or older usually weren’t eligible for as much pandemic relief as families with children were, their wages grew more slowly than the wages of others, and older workers left the labor force at higher rates.
