Sure. I could look that up. I choose not to do that; you can do that yourself.
Bye thrifty
LOL. Zing!
I strongly recommend the following book:

If you define "welfare" as means-tested government assistance, the Census Bureau tells us that 52.2 million persons, or 21.3 percent of the population, participates in some way.

By way of being in recipient families, children have the highest percentage at 39.2 percent. The elderly have a fairly low participation rate at 12.6 percent. Female-headed households and non high-school graduates also have high representation rates.
In 2012, the Brookings Institution analyzed lifestyle factors of poverty and found that one could land in a category where fewer than 2% live in poverty by following three practices:
1. Graduating from high school.
2. Waiting to get married until after 21 and do not have children till after being married.
3. Having a full-time job.
