The occupations that have the highest poverty rate are agricultural jobs, such as farming, service sector jobs, such as fast food or retail, and the construction industry, at 9.7%, 9.0% and 7.1% respectively. The largest ethnicity groups of the working poor are African-American and Hispanics or Latinos, both at 7.9%, with whites at 3.9% and Asian at 2.9%. Women are far more likely than men to be working and in poverty, 10% vs 5.6%. While the majority of the working poor have a high school diploma or less, 5% have some college education, 3.2% have an associate degree, and 1.5% have a bachelor's degree or higher. Families with children are four times as likely as a single person to live in poverty, with families headed by single women making up 16% of all working poor families.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bls.gov/opub/reports/working-poor/2017/home.htm|title=A profile of the working poor, 2017 : BLS Reports: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics|website=www.bls.gov|language=en-us|access-date=22 October 2019}}</ref>
