Ankur Jain, founder and chairman of Kairos, discusses his new company Rhino, which allows renters to pay as little as $10 a month toward their security deposit instead of putting up thousands of dollars upfront. Rhino is already available in 23,000 units in New York. Jain explains Rhino isn't paying the security deposit upfront either, but instead giving landlords a policy for double the money. Jain says renters pay $10 a month for the first year, and then as long as they're in good standing, that amount is reduced substantially.

Workers in the public sector have also been hit hard. Federal jobs were cut by the thousands earlier this year. And many workers are now going without pay as the U.S. government shutdown has now dragged on for more than a month.
