One thing to keep in mind is that the workers usually have side businesses. Usually? Almost always. At least in the rural areas and the small city I live near. You work at the gas station AND babysit your neighbor's kids while they sleep because she's on nights. Or cut a few cords of wood to sell. Or fix computers. Or change folks' oil. If you don't have a small business right now, you have in the past and will again in the future. A couple hundred bucks from that business is the difference between just barely scraping by and some commercial luxuries in life for most of us.
