There are a lot of white dudes in Chicagoland without degrees who work in the building trades and many of them make pretty solid money due to strong unions. Not "Porsche money" mind you (though many of their pick-ups aren't too much less expensive these days), but still comfortably above what we normally think of as "working class".
I think we'd need actual racial and income data to really get a clear focus on it.
