"THE THIN LINE"

In the wake of the largest recession in recent U.S. history, many people struggle to maintain economically and have to fight for a sense of security that was once a given. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are either unemployed, or underemployed, and fight to make ends meet each day. Many find themselves walking the thin line between hope and hopeless each day, as they look for a more stable economic future.
