According to US Census Bureau figures released last week, only one state in the country saw a drop in median household income in 2007. This same state also saw a rise in poverty. Can you guess which state stands alone in its losses?

i wasn't 100% sure but i figured that it had to be MI with all the talk about the automotive plants shutting down along with the issues that they are running into.
1omg i got it right.
2That wasn't a surprise at all
3I figured I had it right with all of the auto plant firings.
4As a resident of Michigan, definitely not surprising...
5I was going to guess Ohio before I saw the options, but once I saw the options, I knew it was Michigan. Hopefully new industries will be built there and the economy can be revitalized.
6That's sad. I got it right, but it made me think, will it soon be "Which country" and the US is the answer?
7Exactly what Indieglam said - as a resident of Michigan, that wasn't a surprise. I live in Houghton, MI (in the Upper Peninsula) where the median household income is just above $20,000. =\
8As a former Michigander, I knew the answer to this question. It's sad to go home and see how run-down things are looking.
9Wow, I thought my home state of Alabama was always the poorest. Way to not be the poorest, Alabama!
Sorry for you in Michigan though. Hey, I'll be supporting the MI economy in a couple of weeks with my camping trip. I'm doing my part as a good American.
10and my parents wonder why i can't find a full time job...gotta love MI
11Don't feel too bad, Michigan. CA's unemployment rate is on the rise. Misery loves company...
12im with indieglam, as a resident, tooootally not surprised. it pisses me off that everyone here is like omg i have to get out of this state ASAP, yeeeah thatll really help boost the state... ugh.
