Good Morning Readers! Here’s to wishing for a successful day ahead! The pandemic's ramifications may still be seen today in many different aspects of the economy In a survey conducted in late June and early July, 40% of individuals said it has been somewhat or extremely difficult to pay for typical household costs. Since the Census began posing the question in August 2020, that number is the highest. It means that, up from approximately 60 million a year ago, more than 90 million families are experiencing financial hardship. Two years ago, when the Census first posed the issue, a third of respondents said they had trouble paying their regular household costs. Following a year of decline, the share began to rise approximately a year ago as inflation took hold and government pandemic aid came to an end.
