There's always been a lower class working terrible jobs. Driving for Uber or working fast food for $8/hour is a terrible job, but it's not as bad as working in a steel mill or coal mine.

Except the people working in the mills and mines have full time employment with benefits and salaries averaging over $50k.

Now they do, yes. That wasn't the case 100 years ago when the steel industry was cutting edge.

The mean pay of a Steel Mill is $49,050. That's a lot better than an Uber driver. It used to be significantly higher.
