Depends on if you can't live comfortably or not still.

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.

Out of the homes, 38 could be considered low income, 44 middle income and 18 high income.

So nearly 1/3 of Americans would be wage slaves by the latter. Even worse for those under the poverty line.
