This is quite a disingenuous title for CNN. The actual study reference in the article (and not even directly, one must go to the linked website and dig around for it) identifies a new subgroup of the US population that are "asset-limited, income-constrained, and employed," or ALICE. Nowhere does it say in the study that these people cannot afford rent and food. These people's financial stability is more tenuous, yes, but they can afford rent and food. What a silly and dishonest conclusion made by CNN.
