The author begins each chapter of The Working Poor with an anecdote or story of someone who has faced difficulty. The first two chapters, entitled "Be Prepared" and "Be Rich," offer tips on how to handle tough situations such as losing a job. After describing a particular story that showcases the author's own experience and explaining how to deal with similar situations, the third chapter "Making Money" describes different strategies and techniques that can be used to make money. The final chapter, "Carve Your Niche," considers the value of networking and shares stories of people who have successfully carved out niches by using the Internet or other media to reach a specific market. In this final chapter, the author offers advice on how to carve out a niche in a recession by creating a website or blog targeting a specific group and distributing press releases and ads to attract potential customers.

Each chapter of The Working Poor is presented in a short, concise style and focuses on a single concept or idea. The organization is not overly detailed or opinionated and contains very few recipes for making money, although there are several recipes for avoiding a financial downturn. The chapters contain some humorous anecdotes, but do not take an excessive stance regarding social issues such as poverty or the problems faced by the working poor in the US. The book is appropriate for students and adults seeking self-help techniques and guidance in facing financial obstacles.
