Then why is is it the richer class that is growing the most?
Ford was selling cars to only 2% of the market, when companies accepted the demand of higher wages, less hours and a 2 days of weekend they were not crying because it would mean less profits...in fact no, the workers were more relaxed and it increased productivity, workers also did something else that was great, they were enjoying their free time and went out and spend money! Ford and other companies went from potentially selling to 2% of the market to potentially selling cars to 90% (and yeah inventions/automation faster manufacture processes helped aswell).
Honestly people don't want to look to the bigger picture, look to the last job report. 240K jobs added! That sounds like great news but it is only for the market because if you look deeper into the report you see that the number of people working dropped with +60.000 and that +300.000 people got a second or a third job...so far the 8hours a week last month alone added potentially another big group of people who can't make it with only making 8 hours a day.
The cell phone market is down especially thanks to the lower class having a harder time to buy new cell phones, the car sales are down and it is five years ago that the sales were that low and that includes a growing group of people who can't afford a new car and buy used cars.
