Question

Which social class lives at or below the poverty line?

Answer 1

Answer: The defined answer is the Lower class. While it is technically called the working poor, which is a class comprised of people who work minimum wage jobs with little to no extra benefits, the working class gets extra benefits from their jobs, and who do not necessarily work minimum wage jobs. Some might make more than minimum wage, but not much. Others may make significantly more than minimum wage. But the working class lives above the poverty line, even if it is by just a margin.

Answer 2

This social class can often be called the "working poor". This group may also be called the "lower" or "under" class. The majority of the working poor work in service jobs, like waiters or waitress, unskilled labor positions, farmers or maids and other minimum wage positions with two or three jobs that have little to no extra benefits. The majority are also relatively uneducated, with less than 50% graduating high school.
