Sad that 2023 federal data is the latest reliable data we will get for the foreseeable future.
The large majority of food stamp (SNAP) recipients in America are children and the elderly.
Among all adults who rely food stamps, a large share are disabled (10%) or taking care of dependents. Of those who aren't, a majority are working in jobs that just don't pay very much.
