This is a good point. It would definitely explain people who are upper-middle-class and above working less. It doesn't explain why people who aren't that well off, which are most of the relevant workers in this context, not going back to work. There's only so much you can reduce what you spend, at a certain point you still need necessities and you have be able to fund that somehow.
