Question

Jared and Suki both have low-paying jobs and struggle to make ends meet. Jared lives in a rural area and cannot get to work if his car breaks down. He also has to spend a lot of money on gas because there are no jobs in his area. Suki, on the other hand, lives in a medium-sized city with a low cost of living and many employment opportunities. She does not have a car and buys a bus pass every month. Even though they make the same amount of money, who is more likely to fall into poverty? (1 point)
