Not bullshit. It was extremely common in the 70s and 80s to get a job at some factory and buy a house. My dad did it at Ford. His brothers at companies like Colgate, Reynolds, etc. Mostly one income households.
Where in the hell can you buy a house today with a blue collar job at any of those companies?
