I cannot fathom why you'd consider it "garbage research" if the problem is that it invites comparison to similar studies in other areas. There might be regional differences in these experiences and that is... an interesting question? Towards the answering of that question, this study would be... a useful part? The limited population who received the survey is a function of the surveys being sent exclusively to recipients of the One Fair Wage Emergency Fund, which is not a nationwide thing. I am sure the principals involved would be delighted to have the resources involved to study more and to help more people. I assume/hope similar work is being done by other groups in other parts of the country (those monsters) and similar surveys are being conducted as well.
