Myrtle Maxwell (l), 54, leans on her porch with her daughter, Debbie (r) in Claryville, NY. Myrtle was born and raised in Sullivan County. She has seen her income drastically decline now that her widow's pension is deducted from her disability check. "Like everyone around here we are living paycheck to paycheck," she says. For women who are working and have only a high school diploma, the median income in Sullivan County is $23,691. Photo by @andrewlichtenstein #sullivancounty
