      Hobos do participate in the labor pool. They were migrant workers, and the union they formed was to help fight against anti-homeless/ worker legislation.

      People don’t realize Hobos aren’t 100% synonymous with homeless.

        The definition I’ve seen is Hobo: traveling looking for work Tramp: traveling but no interest in work Bum: don’t travel, don’t work
