Look, when the printing press became in use the job 'scribe' was 99.99% eliminated -- displaced scribes found new work. Scribe was a well paid job in its day.

@paul: the margin of error is 16% to 40% in the data https://www2.census.gov/programs-sur...pov_table5.xls

That chart is a joke -- meaningless but great cherry picking propaganda. FAKE CHART!!!

Code:
BOTTOM 20%	YEAR
31.90%	          1968
23.61%	          1988
22.79%	          2000
18.12%	          2015

The historical trend is that the are LESS people in the bottom 20% of wage earners. The problem in the USA in the last 20 years is that the number of 'unemployables' has grown. These unemployables for the most part have nothing to offer in the way of contemporary skills. Maybe, one third could be trained to acquire new skills. The rest are of limited intelligence and UBI (universal income) candidates or ...(well, let's not go there).

1968 was a pivot year. Both Medicare and the Civil Rights Act took effect.
