Darren's Story

The stories of people working, and looking for work, in Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado illustrate the difficult trade-offs that occur when working full-time doesn't pay a living wage, or when there just aren't jobs available. Many people are forced to make impossible choices between paying for prescriptions, balanced nutrition, and monthly bills.
