Only because of the moratorium on evictions, which is deferring a lot of financial pain till later, and thereby making today's numbers look a lot better than they are.
Why would evictions impact the poverty rate? Isn't it just the share of people who fall under a certain level of income, without directly accounting for things like housing insecurity?
It's hard to maintain employment if you are evicted from your home, especially if you have a family. You have to move in with extended family/friends and, thus, may no longer be within commuting distance of your job.
Or you could end up homeless/couch surfing and that is also very difficult for staying employed.
I can tell you that for myself, being homeless made keeping my job difficult for a hundred reasons. On top of that, it drove me into a deep depressive episode, which impacts my ability to work severely, and I turned to drug use in a big way, which obviously lead to my situation becoming even more difficult.
