Some studies, many of them <a href="/wiki/Qualitative_research" title="Qualitative research">qualitative</a>, provide detailed insights into the obstacles that hinder workers' ability to find jobs, keep jobs, and make ends meet. Some of the most common struggles faced by the working poor are finding affordable housing, arranging transportation to and from work, buying basic necessities, arranging childcare, having unpredictable work schedules, juggling two or more jobs, and coping with low-status work. </p><p><b>Housing</b><br /> Working poor people who do not have friends or relatives with whom they can live often find themselves unable to rent an apartment of their own. Although the working poor are employed at least some of the time, they often find it difficult to save enough money for a deposit on a rental property. As a result, many working poor people end up in living situations that are actually more costly than a month-to-month rental. For instance, many working poor people, especially those who are in some kind of transitional phase, rent rooms in week-to-week <a href="/wiki/Motel" title="Motel">motels</a>. These motel rooms tend to cost much more than a traditional rental, but they are accessible to the working poor because they do not require a large deposit. If someone is unable or unwilling to pay for a room in a motel, they might live in their car, in a homeless shelter, or on the street. This is not a marginal phenomenon; in fact, according to the 2008 US Conference of Mayors, one in five homeless people are currently employed.<sup id="cite_ref-Mayors_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mayors-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some working poor people are able to access <a href="/wiki/Housing_subsidies" class="mw-redirect" title="Housing subsidies">housing subsidies</a> (such as a <a href="/wiki/Section_8_Housing_Choice_Voucher" class="mw-redirect" title="Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher">Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher</a>) to help cover their housing expenses.

Children growing up in families of the working poor are not provided the same educational opportunities as their middle-class counterpart. In many cases the low income community is filled with schools that are lacking necessities and support needed to form a solid education.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This follows students as they continue in education. In many cases this hinders the possibility for America's youth to continue on to higher education. </p><p>The grades and credits are not attained in many cases, and the lack of guidance in the schools leaves the children of the working poor with no degree. Also, the lack of funds for continuing education causes these children to fall behind. In many cases, their parents did not continue on into higher education and because of this have a difficult time finding jobs with salaries that can support a family. Today a college degree is a requirement for many jobs, and it is the low skill jobs that usually only require a high school degree or <a href="/wiki/General_Educational_Development" title="General Educational Development">GED</a>.

Some working poor people are able to use their social networks—if they have them—to meet their transportation needs.

The average cost of center-based daycare in the United States is $11,666 per year ($972 a month), but prices range from $3,582 to $18,773 a year ($300 to $1,564 monthly), according to the National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>Work schedules</b><br /> Many <a href="/wiki/Low-wage_job" class="mw-redirect" title="Low-wage job">low-wage jobs</a> force workers to accept irregular schedules.

Individual states offer financial assistance for child care, but the aid varies widely. Most assistance is administered through the Child Care and Development Block Grants. Many subsidies have strict income guidelines and are generally for families with children under 13 (the age limit is often extended if the child has a disability). Many subsidies permit home-based care, but some only accept a day care center, so check the requirements.
