I don't think it's that odd although I don't have knowledge of how true it is.
Surely the logic behind it is that the jobs which are more able to work from home are more likely to be those who occupants are middle-class or above? We're talking office workers, managers, IT jobs and technical jobs of some sort, marketers, writers and so on.
Whereas the jobs you would typically associate as being working class tends to be in manufacturing or retail. Work where you need to be in a specific location to either work with machinery you cannot bring more or serve people.
