I think this is a thing that will just keep getting worse as automation kicks in even further. Robots will take jobs away from people, leaving more people to do fewer jobs. Corporations and shareholders profit but meanwhile unemployment goes up and salaries come down. This is actually one of the main reasons why I invest... not really for myself but for my future children or maybe their children. It could very well be that in 50 or 100 years a minimum wage job is considered a blessing.
