The working poor are working people whose incomes fall below a given poverty line due to lack of work hours and/or low wages. Largely because they are earning such low wages, the working poor face numerous obstacles that make it difficult for many of them to find and keep a job, save up money, and maintain a sense of self-worth.[1]

The worker might not be able to get another job and has to contend with low wages till he finds a better paying job.
Low skilled jobs usually have low wages. The worker might not be trained to do skilled job and thus get low wages.
The worker might choose to work part-time and does not mind low pay. For example, a student working doing a part time job to earn his pocket money may not negotiate too much for higher wages.
In the same way, a worker might view the job as a temporary measure until a better job is available and may not negotiate for better wages.
Lack of information is also an important factor. Workers who do not know of alternative jobs usually land up getting lower wages.
Age may be a factor which limits the worker to get higher wages.
