Hard Earned - Dreams deferred

In the fourth episode of Hard Earned, we meet Percy Evans, 66, and his wife Beverly, 65, who are struggling to keep up with their bills in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; a former industrial capital.
After being layed off as a maintenance worker during the recession, Percy now has a temporary job as a cleaner at an inner city mall.
But earning only $8 an hour, he doesn't believe he'll be able to retire any time soon.
In the last 20 years in the US, the number of people aged 65 and older in the workforce has more than doubled. In 1994 it was 3.7 million; in 2014 it was at eight million.
We also meet Hilton Kennedy III, a US citizen raised in Mexico, who juggles two full-time jobs, working between 80-90 hours a week to support his pregnant girlfriend.
We follow Hilton and Diana as they move out of their one-bedroom house at a trailer park to an expensive new apartment. We are also with them as tragic news surrounding Diana's pregnancy bites.
As we follow our characters hardship and occasional good fortune in Hard Earned , we see how these couples and families are proud and determined to make it on their own to secure a better more stable future.
