Numbers are hard to come by but there are working poor in this land of ours. Encouragingly, the poverty line has gone multi-dimensional to give a true picture of how many are poor. In the same year, another goal needs to be reached: zero poverty set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. If the local “governors” do their job well, we may not need a UN expert to tell us what our poverty line income is. And the working poor, from one pay cheque to another.
