Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The working poor is the group of people who are employed but still struggle to make ends meet due to low-paying jobs and limited job security. As a person with a minimum wage job, Bob is more likely to belong to this group. The other options are less likely as they represent broader socio-economic categories. The proletariat refers to the working class who sell their labor for a wage, but this group includes workers in a range of industries and income brackets. The underclass refers to the most impoverished and marginalized individuals who face significant barriers to social and economic mobility. The lower middle class typically denotes those with moderate income and some degree of financial stability, which is not characteristic of someone with a minimum wage job.
