In the US, there´s a huge gap between the middle class and the lower class. It´s not uncommon for a family provider to work at two or three places to make ends meet, and I´ve seen a documentary about several families living in the same flat, because the minimum salaries are so low.
I´m sure there are much better sources of information, but Wikipedia tells a little:

...and a newspaper article:
