About one-sixth of Floridians were living in poverty last year. 

The median income in Florida fell almost 3% last year. The American Community Survey shows Floridians making about $6,000 less than the national median income. 

Tallahassee financial planner Terri Jackson has customers who are struggling with large drops in pay. 

“I’ve had a lot of clients making 70-80,000 a year, have been laid off and feel lucky to have jobs now making 30 or 40,000”, said Jackson.
