I hobo has no home. A bum has no job, no home, nuttin'.

But a hobo might just be someone who drifts around but works occasionally. In a bookstore, perhaps.

Bum:
1. A tramp; a vagrant.
2. A lazy or shiftless person, especially one who seeks to live solely by the support of others.
3. An incompetent, insignificant, or obnoxious person: The batter called the pitcher a bum.
4. One who is devoted to a particular activity or milieu: a beach bum.

Hobo:
1. One who wanders from place to place without a permanent home or a means of livelihood.
2. A migrant worker.

A hobo carries his or her belongings in a satchel, usually made from a bandana, on the end of a stick.

A bum has no such carrying device.
