Most lower level positions no longer pay a living wage and working conditions have deteriorated, along with many other changes. Pensions are non existent and any benefits at all (like health insurance, paid sick leave, etc.) are now usually reserved for upper management. I wouldn't rush to judge until you have walked in their shoes.
lower level positions were never intended/designed to provide a living wage - they are entry level positions, an initial stepping stone into the job market & the basis to better understand the system so with hard work they can move up into higher, more responsible positions with better related compensation - not sure why anyone would not clearly see this
