You've learned about ALICE — Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. Now see what it looks like in the context you inhabit most: your workplace. If you're an employer, upload your employee wage data below to quickly understand how financial hardship impacts your workforce — by county, by role, by demographic.
ALICE households earn above the Federal Poverty Level but below what it actually costs to cover the basics — housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology — in their county. These are your employees who keep things running but can't make ends meet. Often earning too much for public assistance, they live paycheck to paycheck.
This tool compares each employee's salary against the 2023 ALICE Household Survival Budget for the specific Minnesota county where they work — because a living wage in Hennepin County looks very different from one in Morrison County.
Want to see what the Household Survival Budget looks like for a specific county? Visit the United For ALICE Minnesota page and select County Reports to explore what these thresholds are based on — the real cost of housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology where your employees live.
