Last updated on Thursday, December 11, 2014

(FORT WAYNE) - With the holidays here, the United Way is continuing to shed light on the state of working households in Indiana.

The United Way's ALICE report says roughly 14 percent of Indiana households live at or below the poverty line. However, it also classifies another 23 percent as being income unstable.

Fort Wayne-based Community Services Director Gayle Goodrich says that means 37 percent of Indiana's working households don't have enough income to afford the cost of living.
