That most Americans are consumers AND workers as you point out - and in particular, most are workers in non-white collar non-office settings, i.e. production & nonsupervisory - is such an important concept to keep in mind! I think many economists and policymakers struggle to grasp this both for theoretical reasons and also practical ones. I’d be curious if there’s anything written about it. It does seem to be central to the success of neoliberal anti-worker politics.
