Economists caution that conventional statistics used to estimate the extent of poverty in the United States fail to account for benefits people receive that, if considered, would reduce the amount of poverty.
 
  Which of the following is an example of these benefits?
  A) The federal minimum wage forces employers to pay workers with low skills an efficiency wage.
  B) Individuals with low incomes receive non-cash benefits such as free school lunches and food stamps.
  C) Individuals can use tax credits and the personal exemption to reduce their taxable incomes. This reduces what they owe the government and increases their disposable incomes.
