Lately, though, many people there are having a hard time making ends meet. In this episode of The Sunday Story , Holly Edgell and Daniel Wheaton from NPR's Midwest Newsroom bring us the voices of Midwesterners.
We hear about how people in the region are struggling financially, and how the affordability crisis is impacting their votes in the midterms. You can hear more of the "Costly" series here. This episode was produced by Sharon Mashihi.
