What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Pew Research Center and Urban Institute conducted an analysis of US economic trends. The report found that over half of middle-income Americans do not have emergency funds covering three months of expenses. Furthermore, the consumer price index inflation rate rose to 3.7% in September, and inflation-adjusted wages have been declining for six months.

The findings indicate financial strain across income levels, with lower-income earners seeing a decrease in their ability to pay bills in full compared to 2020. This trend is occurring alongside rising inflation and falling real wages, suggesting increasing pressure on household budgets.
