I gladly receive any news of the expansion of class consciousness, and appreciate the data to prove it.

this is not news of class consciousness at all. it just means that 20% people believe they can't make it anymore while they could make it 10 years ago. it does not mean that they identify themselves as a part of a "class" at all.
