Official figures released in the United States，the world's largest economy，show that the income of the average household fell last year and that more Americans than ever are living in poverty. Paul Adams reports from Washington.

（8）Yet again, figures which show that the economic recovery is not being felt by America's less advantaged citizens.（數據再次顯示美國較貧困的公民并未感受到經濟的復蘇。）（9）African Americans and Hispanic communities are disproportionately affected，as are the less well-educated，the young and people living in the south.（非洲裔美國人、西班牙裔美國人、教育水平較低的人、年輕人和居住在南方的居民都不同程度地受到了影響。）（10）It's probably the decline in median income, down 2.3%，that'll worry politicians most since the battle for middle-class votes will be vital in next year's presidential election.（因為中產階級的投票對于明年的總統選舉來說是非常關鍵的，所以平均收入下降2.3%讓政客們感到最為擔憂。）The figures come just as President Obama hits the road trying to sell a $450 billion jobs package. He faces an uphill struggle.
