The official poverty rate in the USA was 11.4% in 2020 with 37.2 million people under the poverty line. I’d wager many of them might not hold a job due to having young children as well. https://www.yonkerstribune.com/2021/11/slave-wages-what-are-slave-wages Out of the homes, 38 could be considered low income, 44 middle income and 18 high income. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/household-income-distribution-wealth-inequality-united-states/ So nearly 1/3 of Americans would be wage slaves by the latter. Even worse for those under the poverty line.
