Humankind: Barely Getting By

Around Noon brings you the documentary, Barely Getting By, examining the plight of America's working poor, a population estimated at 30 million who work hard (sometimes more than one job), but still struggle to make ends meet. You'll hear the stories of a single mother who works two jobs but must still receive food from a pantry to feed her family, and a 64-year-old security guard with no savings and other low-wage workers in an economy increasingly divided between haves and have-nots.
