One must work to live (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

wage slave

(Other definitions for wage slave that I've seen before include "Person dependent on pay packet" , "Someone compelled to work in order to survive" , "One dependant on a salary" , "Person compelled to work for pay in order to survive" , "Worker" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
