Harvard’s poverty
To the Editor:
According to the Northwest Herald, the poverty level in Harvard is 28 percent (“Poverty creeps into county,” Feb. 17).
I ask myself how that can be. Simple, cold, hard facts show several reasons why. First, we do not have any major employers/businesses in Harvard. Walmart, but they pay minimum wage and the work week consists of 32 hours – hardly enough to make a living.
