Millions in US climb out of poverty, at long last

Not that long ago, Alex Caicedo was stuck working a series of odd jobs and watching his 1984 Chevy Nova cough its last breaths. He could make $21 an hour at the Johnny Rockets food stand at FedEx Field when the Washington Redskins were playing but work was spotty  Today, Mr. Caicedo is an assistant manager at a pizzeria with an annula salary of $40,000 and health benefits.  The Caicedos are among the 3.5 million Americans who were able to raise above the poverty line last year according to census data.
