Both, actually: there’s too large a gap between the richest and the poorest. At least that’s how it seems to me in the States. I’m not the only one who says this, the middle class really is decreasing.
It’s one thing to say that past 1970 (or 2000 to 2014 as in one of the linked articles) the middle class has been decreasing.
You however seem to argue about effects of the industrial revolution which was an event that happened on a different time scale and which actually build the middle class in the metropolian areas.
Industrial revolution was just an example of automation not being beneficial for the worker, I’m not trying to link events that are two hundred years apart.

Good call, I did find vast evidence on the subject.
