A few days ago I got a letter in the mail from my company and when I opened it I was met with ” you qualify for a loan up to $4,000″ this was extremely shocking simply because the job paid minimum wage. As I'm sure many of you have experienced in your lives there are jobs out there that basically pay you just enough to get by but not enough to make any significant changes in your life and the minute that you lose hours or lose that job completely you are in financial free fall , literally wage slavery. The poverty traps just keep coming. Tldr : some jobs are not worth having and can actually exacerbate the issue of poverty
