So, some sort of poverty trap that's been getting stronger as our society bifurcates?
What do you think about this @Undisciplined?

It fits into the point @elvismercury was making about how it's becoming more difficult to even qualify for jobs.
People growing up in poverty might not have the social networks to connect them to opportunities and they're stuck in abysmal government schools that give them no preparation for the workforce.
I'm generally skeptical of poverty trap explanations, but it's a reasonable hypothesis.
