The 2019 Prosperity Now Scorecard, a resource for data on household financial health on the state and federal levels, finds that an alarming percentage of Americans – especially households of color – are currently living in financial uncertainty. For the first time, the 2019 Scorecard also ranks states on racial disparities. The report recommends enacting state EITCs or improving existing state tax credits as part of a policy agenda to improve economic stability and advance racial equity.
