Jerica Roush's power was shut off Wednesday, the second time in the past month her home went dark.
The 19-year-old, a dancer at Oasis Cabaret gentlemen's club in Adams County, said the sinking economy has drastically cut her wages, making it harder to pay the bills.
"It's the economy, the wintertime, Christmas, everything," Roush said Wednesday afternoon while applying for financial assistance from the state Low-income Energy Assistance Program.
This week, she made $18 for a day's worth of work. She used to make $100 a day.
"Not as many people are coming in," she said.
