The 2020 West Virginia Social Survey, a representative survey of non-institutionalized adults in West Virginia, found that 44% of respondents identified not having enough money to cover expenses for three months if they were to lose their main source of income.
The WVSS was funded by the WVU Department of Sociology and Anthropology, co-directed by associate professors Christopher P. Scheitle and Katie E. Corcoran and executed by the Survey Research Center at WVU.
