 A new report from Bankrate found more than one-third of U.S. workers say they're living paycheck to paycheck on their current salary. Bankrate analyst Sarah Foster believes people have less spending money now than in the past. Workers in the southern United States were most likely to report living paycheck to paycheck, which Foster says isn't surprising. Workers in the south are those who are making kind of the lowest income in the nation. And we're also seeing that inflation peaked at higher rates in the south as well than it did in any other region. LRN.
