NPR is seeking input from individuals navigating financial hardship.
Economic pressures are mounting. The request highlights recent challenges including high gasoline prices, a stagnant job market, and rising mortgage rates.
NPR asks individuals to share their experiences on three key points:
- Which specific costs are affecting them the most
- What financial choices they are making to cope
- Whether these costs will influence their voting in the upcoming midterm elections
Respondents may be contacted by an NPR producer for follow-up.
