In the old days products were simple and simply made. Without a HS education you could earn a living for your family because many jobs were not intellectually demanding.
Today, jobs are far more complicated. You can't figure out how to do most of them with just a little on the job training or experience. You often need a lot of education, something that heretofore has not been required of most human beings on earth. This is especially true in America where our more advanced economy can't compete with low skilled, low waged China.
Accordingly there are now many many skill levels in our economy each of which comes with a higher salary as the skill required increases. Competition for these workers has led to very different compensation levels and more and more inequality.
The low or no skilled workers have been hit the hardest thanks to competition from China and because they have not been able to rapidly adapt to the changed technological world.
The highest skilled workers have been helped the most since their skills or products are now easily sold the world over thanks to globalization.
There are however two significant solutions:
1) make liberals unions illegal since they have destroyed our public education system
2) make liberal economic policies illegal since they have exacerbated the shift of jobs to China 1000%
