New research zeroes in on households living paycheck to paycheck, yet often with income that’s too high for assistance

Easley, SC – In 2023, 36% of workers in Pickens County’s 20 most common jobs lived in households that couldn’t afford basics, according to new data from United Way of Pickens County and its research partner United For ALICE. These workers – the backbone of every community – include food services, retail, manufacturing, health care and social assistance, and educational services.
