5 years after recession began: 20% of Americans struggled to buy food LAST MONTH


  • The number of Americans unable to buy food is approaching recession highs seen in 2008

  • The unemployment rate is dropping, but wages are not rising
  • Record numbers of families are on food stamps

  • With food stamp funding set to be cut in November, even more families may soon starve


  • The number of Americans struggling to buy food is on the rise, and the ranks of the starving may get considerably worse.
