HOMELESS: BUT I GOT A JOB!!!

I'm watching the news and it's talking about the rise of individuals with jobs and are homeless. Isn't that almost an oxymoron? Apparently not since the working class is becoming the fastest growing group of homeless. Whatever happened to the days where if you worked hard, you were rewarded with great things: A house, cars, boats, etc...? Now if you have a great job you're rewarded with: A roof over your head and hopefully some cable. This is bananas. I live in a state where the minimum wage is under $6.00 and hour. How can you honestly expect a grown adult to survive off of this, especially if that adult has a family? Why do Americans have to work 3 jobs, or 1 job and a hustle, to survive? Something's wrong here, and we need to do something about it before this trend of the working homeless becomes a larger problem.
I wonna hear your take on this.
