Probably because they lived in a bubble of wealth and privilege. Now that the labor market includes 2.5 billion other people who can pull levers for half the cost, its going to be a lot harder to make a living in a developed nation doing a developing nation-job.
I'm sure if you ask the millions who have escaped poverty worldwide in the last decade, they'd tell you its been a pretty great year.
