Indeed there is no comparison between being a working poor, with a full-time job, in the eighties and now.
Being a working poor in the eighties meant 2nd-hand clothing for your 5-member family and not being able to go on holiday.
Being a working poor now means not having enough food on the table for your kids and seriously doubting if next month, you can afford the rent or mortgage or the electricity bill.
Somewhere we lost the goal that workers should have a living wage.
