Political Factoid

The American working poor:*
  • 7.6 million poor people work two jobs.
  • 384 thousand poor people work two full-time jobs.
     
  • 4.3 million poor people work for minimum wage or less.
    (They try to feed their families on $15,000 a year income.)
* Many people, especially conservatives, lump all poor
people together, and consider them all to be too lazy to work.
