A comment on Startups Are Scooping Up Big Tech’s Cast-Off Workers. Parent comment
Err, nope, they don't because you're looking at the wrong data. This was about poverty gap [1], not poverty rate.
I though this was obvious from the very sentence of mine you quoted. I.e. it pertained to the third column of the table in the link I posted.
According to that table, the only developed country with a higher poverty gap than the US in 2019 was Italy (US: 39.8, Italy: 40.8).
Since they were close and I didn't find current data for 2022/2023, I wrote "possibly all?" with a question mark.
As you can see in [1], in 2021 the US moved up from 2nd from last to 8th from last. I.e. better but the point still stands.
