ALICE is on the rise in the US

Following last week’s Poor People’s Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly Morale March on Washington D.C., attention has further turned to ALICE.

No, it’s not a she, rather it’s an acronym coined by United Way, which stands for: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.

This term represents hard-working Americans who are employed but still unable to afford basic necessities such as food, housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation.
