Maine has the highest food insecurity rate of all the New England states and a 2018 report from the Maine Center for Economic Policy Maine found that families are struggling to make ends meet as middle-class jobs disappear and are replaced by low-wage jobs.
The report also found that even as the economy has grown in recent years, it has grown unequally with fewer gains for lower-income families.
