   Being "out of work with no money" is just one example of being poor, and   
   certainly not the only one. A farmer who worked all season only to see some   
   of his crop fail for reasons beyond his control could also be considered poor,   
   as could someone working a minimum-wage job to support a family. In fact,   
   most people on public assistance do have jobs.
