Newly released data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture provides more evidence of just how many low-income households continue to struggle to put food on the table.

According to a recent report from the USDA , an increasing share of individuals who receive benefits through the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program, also known as food stamps, live in households where at least one person is working.

Nearly 32 percent of SNAP households are home to at least one wage-earner, according to the most recent data on the program, compared to only 19.6 percent in 1989, as far back as USDA data is availabe.

At the same time, a decreasing share of SNAP recipients are concurrently receiving welfare benefits from other safety net programs like the Aid to Families with Dependent Children and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families programs. As of the most recent data, about 6 percent of SNAP recipients are also receiving support through these programs, compared to about 42 percent of recipients in 1989.

While the trend of SNAP recipients increasingly working is not new, Carrie Calvert, director of tax and commodity policy at Feeding America , a national network of food banks, said the USDA numbers are indicative of the U.S. economys uneven recovery.

Many of the jobs created have either been part-time or seasonal, or if theyre full-time theyre not enough to meet the economic needs of that household, Calvert told The Huffington Post. This data highlights a big, untold story about the working poor in America today.

The USDA numbers mirror the organizations own research.

Its 2014 national report, Hunger in America, found that about 54 percent of the households that participated in its food banks and similar programs included at least one person who had worked within the past year. When it came to households with at least one child, that share was even higher about 70 percent.
