Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes social data and statistics from the last half-century to reveal profound improvements in the lives of the working class during the period. The author starts by examining wage and employment data, unveiling significant increases in real income alongside a reduction in working hours. The declining cost of living during the period further contributed to the financial gains made by workers. The author also delves into health and education statistics, citing remarkable progress in life expectancy and literacy rates. Exploring statistics on crime, pauperism, and savings, the book highlights notable declines in social ills and a rise in financial security. The analysis extends to the distribution of wealth, challenging the notion of a widening gap between rich and poor. The author presents evidence indicating an expansion of the middle class and a growing number of property owners. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of these findings, demonstrating the substantial material and social progress made by the working class during this transformative era.
