> New middle-class jobs might not be an oxymoron after all ... I have seen $17–$20 starting hourly wages at new factories in Mississippi and South Carolina.
That's $40K per year at best. Hardly a middle-class salary in contemporary United States. In fact, it's barely above minimum wages in many other countries.
