leisure and income are inversely correlated (i.e., the poor have lots of leisure, the rich very little).
Do you have any data for that? I rather doubt that it is very solid if it exists at all. There are a large number of poor people working more than two jobs and more hours than the rest of the "middle-class". Additionally, many of the jobs from the upper end of the middle-class tend to often require longer working hours.

Most poor people don't work at all, and about half of those who do are only part time.

Doesn't cover multiple jobs, but it shows most poor folks don't work at all, and a little under half of those who do are part time.
Do you have any data suggesting a significant number of poor people work multiple jobs, or work more than 50 hours/week?
If by "most" you mean ~10% (or were you including children and old people?)
I wasn't specifically thinking about people below the poverty line, but was rather intending to include the "working-class" as well.
