Description
Curtis J Antrum and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 tracking food insecurity, meaning unreliable access to enough food, among low-wage workers from 2018 to 2022. Those years spanned the COVID-19 pandemic and a temporary rise in federal food aid. Workers were surveyed yearly in Raleigh and Minneapolis.
The study followed 414 workers, and 72.7 percent faced food insecurity at the start. Analysis sorted them into five paths: steady high security at 23.9 percent, steady moderate security at 28.3 percent, and steady very low security at 17.6 percent. Two groups improved, one for good and one only briefly. The authors stress that food security shifts over time and needs yearly measuring.
