With statistics like these it seems as though the author is trying to justify their position rather than trying to uncover the truth of the situation.

That isn't to say that poverty doesn't affect people in this country because that would be an outright lie - but at the same time it doesn't break down the figures by age, region, education or experience. If the statistics really wanted to show some concrete information it could break it down by the demographics to see where the real issues lie - not with the mysterious 1%.
