>The reason is that poverty levels these days are relative to the rest of the nation. But in absolute terms, the living conditions of the poor have improved compared to several decades ago.

In a few ways, mostly due to technological advances which have made certain household appliances both cheaper and absolutely critical to navigating today's modern world. But it doesn't change that millions of Americans, and increasingly so, have to choose between food, medicine, education for their kids, and so on.
