If by convenience, you include cooking time, then junk food is pretty cheap.
A lot of working poor juggle multiple part-time jobs or the like (in families, sometimes both adults), so there's no stable schedule and no guarantee you'll have the time or energy to cook on any given day.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoMost poor are not working poor. Many of those that are working don't work that much. Here are the facts: http://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/working-poor/archive/a-profile-of-the-working-poor-2013.pdf http://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/working-poor/archive/a-profi... The less money you have, the more leisure time you have. That leisure time is just spent in front of the TV rather than working out in a park. https://www.bls.gov/news.release/atus.t11.htm https://www.bls.gov/news.release/atus.t11.htm
- disordinary 10y agoThere are the people that don't fall within those statistics because they aren't technically working poor, but are still not earning a living wage. They aren't below the poverty line but still can't keep up with debt payments. They often work full time and moonlight with a part time job.
