A different way of calculating America's poor by taking into account medical costs and work-related expenses finds a higher total than the government's official count.
This measure is aimed at providing a fuller picture of poverty. It found there are 49.7 million poor people in the country - or 16.1 percent of the population. That compares with the 46.2 million, or 15 percent, as reported in September in the Census Bureau's official count.
