What worker in the United States does not get a "living wage"? What exactly, does that mean?
People who are working in the United States are not starving.
Their children go to free schools. They have cars, air conditioning, often free food, and inexpensive, good clothing.
The people that are hurting fall into a number of groups. Here are common causes:
1. They are single mothers who find it difficult to work and care for children together.
2. They are drug or alcohol addicted people who spend a significant part of their income on their addictions.
3. They are mentally impaired.
4. They live in places where regulations have made the cost of housing so high, it takes most of their income.
5. They have medical bills that take most of their income.
People who are working in the United States would be considered upper middle class in most of the rest of the world.
