You do realize that to get SNAP, you have to be below the poverty line, right?
That’s $17k a year for a family of 2.
Assume a standard 2000 hr/yr FTE, that’s $8.50/hr earnings (family of 2).
At $17k, you are not living the high life. M
And it’s guess that may be the crux of all of this…who in there right mind wants to ‘scrape by’? Any sane individual either alone or with a child, especially with a child, wants to do better. And has been said in PARF many times, entry level jobs are not supposed to be living wage jobs.
So perhaps people are wising up and just not doing them? Young folk are just avoiding that ‘route up’ and finding other paths.
