Hi Hisun, the 'working poor' is a term used to describe individuals and families who maintain regular employment but remain in relative poverty due to very low levels of pay and dependent expenses. The 'working poor' are often distinguished from paupers, poor who are supported by government aid or charity.

agree with Jura Hisun,你可以翻译成‘穷忙族’ “穷忙族”是最近才冒出来的一个新词儿,如今,越来越多的网友在抱怨自己是“穷忙族”,其中不乏一些中等收入的工薪阶层,甚至是拿着每月近万元收入的办公室白领。“穷忙族”最显著的特点就是每天脚不离地的忙着,甚至超时工作,却不知忙些什么,为什么而忙,看不到效果,也看不到希望。甚至有些人迫于生计,或本身技术含量不高,身兼数职,每天疲于奔命,没有时间充实自己,不但脑力退化速度越来越快,职场竞争力也越来越弱,这样的恶性循环,到头来只能是一场忙碌一场空。 测试一下 你是"穷忙族"吗?   1、一周工作超过54小时,但是看不到前途   2、一年内未曾加薪   3、三年内未曾升职   4、薪水很低,到月底总是很艰难   5、积蓄少,无力置产   6、工资不低,但花钱很大手笔   7、收入不低,但内心没有安全感   以上七项,如果你有两项或者两项以上,那么BINGO!恭喜你,你属于"穷忙族"了!
