(1) Too many Americans cannot achieve finan-
cial stability due to income volatility, the rising cost 
of living, wage stagnation, and a lack of affordable 
housing. 
(2) Real wages have failed to keep pace with in-
flation, meaning the purchasing power of American 
households has not changed in decades. 
(3) Income volatility, defined as an annual in-
come fluctuation of 25 percent or more, impacts mil-
lions of American households. 
(4) Two-thirds of Americans are worried they 
wouldn’t be able to cover their living expenses for 
just 1 month if they lose their primary source of in-
come, while 57 percent of American adults are cur-
rently unable to cover a $1,000 emergency expense. 
That percentage is higher for millennials at 79 per-
cent, and Generation Z at 85 percent, unable to 
cover an emergency expense.

volatility and prohibit upward economic mobility. 
(7) During the height of COVID–19, the Fed-
eral Government provided stimulus checks to the 
American people in response to the economic hard-
ship of the pandemic. The Census Bureau complied 
an analysis that showed that material hardship in 
United States households fell sharply following the 
passage of the COVID–19 relief bill in late Decem-
ber 2020, and the American Rescue Plan in March 
2021. From December 2020 to April 2021, food in-
sufficiently fell by over 40 percent, financial insta-
bility fell by 45 percent, and reported adverse men-
tal health symptoms fell by 20 percent.
