There are millions of Americans who have jobs but still remain poor despite the strong labor markets; these people are referred to as "the working poor." The working poor are working people whose incomes fall below a given poverty line. Even though these people are working, the wages are insufficient causing them to face numerous obstacles that make it difficult for them to provide the basic necessities to maintain a stable life. Some of these barriers include not having a full-time job, the struggle of finding affordable housing, and lacking higher education.…
If questioned, most people who work would most likely say that they are working to earn money; however, this is not the single need that is contented by working. There are lengthy needs that will satisfy working. We all are different; we all have different reasons for working. There are some mutual reasons such as earning money; whereas, some reasons have more significance for some range of individuals than others. Reade (2003) has drawn attention to the fact that students believe that job satisfaction is more important than money. Therefore, businesses must satisfy workers’ needs to motivate them. Otherwise, employees would not work at their full potential. Heretofore, many theories have been introduced in order to raise businesses’ productivity.…
Society often describes the impoverished with one word, lazy. Society has taught us that if a person wants to be financially successful, it is a simple process of education and hard work that will equate to a successful income. This is the American dream. If the impoverished simply would get a job instead of being lazy, they would not need to rely on programs like welfare. The impoverished would succeed if they only would apply themselves. However, in an attempt to present another point of view, The Working Poor Invisible in America by David K. Shipler (2004) explored multiple variables this group struggles with daily.…
Secondly, working for something that someone finds fulfilling gives more chances to the person compared to a person who works for something that pays well. For example, if a person likes doing something, he will get excited about it, which will boost up his capabilities and skills, and help him succeed in getting a higher position, or get more things out from the job. But, if a person works for something just to get more money, he will dislike the things he is doing compared to the person before, and because he dislikes the work, his performances will drop, which will lead to a decline of the person, and eventually come to an end where the person does not even get the high amount of money he had hoped to get through the job.…

Swarthmore College Professor Barry Schwartz published an op-ed in last Sunday’s New York Times entitled, “Rethinking Work.” The essay begins by noting that a “survey last year found that almost 90 percent of workers were either “not engaged” with or “actively disengaged” from their jobs.” So 9 out of 10 “workers spend half their waking lives doing things they don’t really want to do in places they don’t particularly want to be.” But Why?…
The working poor are those individuals that even though they work, fall into those definitions of poverty. They are “the forgotten America” (Shipler, 2004, p. 3). As Shipler (2004) states, “At the bottom of its working world, millions live in the shadow of prosperity, in the twilight between poverty and well-being,” (p. 3). These are hard working individuals that most of us encounter every day in our lives. We may not even know of these individuals hardships when we encounter them.…
