I agree with you. In 1975, the janitor was an employee of a company whose premises they were cleaning. It was theoretically possible for the janitor to become CEO one day, or at least an executive. [1] Today, the janitor probably works for a contractor hired by the company who bills them out at a multiple of what they actually get paid. They probably don't have very good benefits, are lucky if they can afford the health insurance offered, and probably can't really afford to contribute to a 401k. I would much rather be a janitor in 1975 than 2023. --- [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Monta%C3%B1ez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Monta%C3%B1ez
