I've done a bit of thinking and to be honest I'd call Bob upper-working class at best, despite his cushy job he still lives in a basement and only spends money on food, rent and toys. A qualified workman like a builder or plumber definitely has a better quality of life than Bob despite the harder work.
Bob thinks that everyone is as poorly motivated as he is and that middle-America is so stupid that they'll just sit around with their thumbs up their asses and accept their fate if/when their jobs go away and nobody in power even pretends to stand up for them - I doubt it's even crossed his mind that there might be repercussions from mass unemployment, if it has he's probably arrogant enough to assume that all police and military would be more than happy to arrest/shoot any uppity flyover peasants.
Somewhat relevant but

fftopic:: Currently Greece has a 20% unemployment rate and people are so pissed off that if an election was tomorrow a genuine communist party and a genuine hard-right/fascist party would each get about 10% of the vote. Also if an election was held tomorrow the parties that people blame most for the economy being shit (left wing + centre left) would be so badly fucked it'd probably take them a decade to recover. Basically people fight back when politicians fuck them over.
