I’m not American but my perspective here from Europe is that what most poor people I know have an abundance of is time.

Are you interpreting "poor" as "unemployed"? The OP was talking about people who are employed full time but at a low level job (at a shop, or as a janitor or something like that).

That definition of poor would make the majority of people poor.

Yes, exactly. There's a lot of poor people.
