The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following graph in the picture:

On the x-axis years are shown from 1959 to 2005.

The y axis shows the poverty rate and the number of people in poverty.

The blue strips in the graph are the recession time.

Now, for each blue strip, we could see the line for poverty rate and the number of people in poverty increases. There is an upward trend in the line in the blue strip.

In other words we could say that the slope increases for all the blue strips which actually represents that the number of people in poverty increases in recession.

Thus, the given statement is true.
