This seems to be just a fraction of a bigger TV piece by ABC called My Reality: A Hidden America.

Some other portions of it found on Youtube:

* Firefighter with 3 jobs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll_8lgs9GCQ

* Fastfood worker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I28_9eAwEW4

* Stanford U worker who commutes 4 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T3O4Xat1C0

I don't live in the US, but the situation in these videos looks pretty sad.

Likewise; but one thing I've noticed is that most of the people in these videos support families. The reality is, the new lower middle class cannot support families with a single provider anymore.
