There is a great deal of confusion about low-paid workers and low-income workers. Low-paid workers are individuals whose work effort is high, but whose earnings are low. However, they are not necessarily low-income workers if their needs are met only through their own earnings as well as those of other family members. In Canada, a person who works full time throughout the year for minimum wage is considered a low-paid worker. However, if this person lives with a spouse who earns $100,000 a year, for example, he or she is obviously not in a low-income situation and could not be considered a low-income worker.  6, record 1, English, - low%2Dwage%20worker
