I've heard it used specifically in the context of 'income bracket' as a range of incomes which has a particular tax code. I have never heard it extended to 'working bracket', but then I can't keep up with how English changes, especially slang. He's a nice kid, but doesn't seem to have a very good grasp of English. My guess is he is using the expression incorrectly.
