Great piece. I don't know if you noticed, but if you look at the online appendix you'll see that there definition of working class also includes an income floor of $30,000. So someone working full time at the minimum wage doesn't qualify as working class, by their definition.

thank you! yes, I noticed. I found that particularly bizarre. I'm not exactly sure why they included a floor in their definition.
