Poverty is significantly more pervasive among Asian Americans in New York City than generally believed, according to a new study released by the Asian American Federation. "Working but Poor: Asian American Poverty in New York City" finds that almost one-fifth of all Asian residents are poor. Even greater levels of poverty exist for the elderly Asians and for some Asian ethnic groups -- Cambodian, Bangladeshi, Vietnamese and Pakistani Americans. Almost half of Asian Americans have low incomes.
