ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, earning above the Federal Poverty Level but less than what’s needed to survive in the current economy. ALICE workers include childcare providers, home health aides and cashiers — those working low-wage jobs, with little or no savings and one emergency from poverty.

Though wages for the lowest paid jobs have risen across the country at the fastest rate in four decades, the number of households struggling to get by in Westchester grew by approximately 7,500. As a result, 36% of households in Westchester County were living paycheck to paycheck, according to a new update from United Way of Westchester and Putnam and its research partner United For ALICE. To read the update and access interactive dashboards that provide data on financial hardship at the state, county and local levels, visit UnitedForALICE.org/New-York.

The report found that transgender people face higher rates of unemployment, lower incomes, less educational attainment and higher rates of justice involvement due to discrimination.
