I think the vast majority of the working poors earnings go towards paying rent, then utilities, both of which are industries which haven’t scaled up. Even people on minimum wage can afford a lot of goods with an hour’s wages, so long as they pick the cheaper stuff and shop around a bit. Far more than I imagine people could afford a hundred years ago.
