The middle class wasn't as badly off as it is now.

It would be interesting to compare the real unemployment rates of those two eras (unemployment + able bodied unemployed no longer looking for a job).

income adjusted per inflation? And dont forget, back then it was usually one parent working.. to make more money..

And if you dont think Government is at least partially to blame for these wages, you're kidding yourself.
