Rising health care costs since the ironically named Affordable Care Act is also named as a contributing factor:

MOVE TOWARD $15/HR WAGES AND INCREASE IN PAYABLE WORK HOURS: Believe it or not, SHARE staff—who work hard for subsistence wages–were beneficiaries of this excellent community mandate.

Who could have predicted that would happen? Well, a lot of people actually.
