If you're talking about the working poor:
1. they often have multiple jobs since many jobs on the lower end don't pay a living wage.
2. they have longer commutes so they live in less expensive communities where their wages can go further. But those communities tend to have less available jobs overall.
So, on average, yeah. Less free time for the working poor.
- p1esk 5y agoThis is where having hard data would help. Do the poor actually work multiple jobs? Do they actually have longer commutes? On average. And to be more specific, we can compare people who make 50k in bay area (poor) to people who make 200k (e.g. Silicon Volley SWEs frequently seen on HN).
