Analyst Henle blames the structure of the U.S. job market. The number of high-paying jobs, such as engineer, computer programmer and upper-level civil servant, he finds, has increased, and salaries in those categories have risen markedly.

...this treatment, the servant's dicta are generally recognized as the dry-witted, earthy folk wisdom of vox populi. What is more interesting, and not generally recognized, is that the servant also speaks to these particular masters with vox Dei. The servant tries to warn the master that if he persists in his extravagant behavior, be it passion or madness, he affronts not only the social but the cosmic order, and will incur the vengeful wrath of the gods. The servant dare not speak too freely lest he be cuffed or dismissed. The master pulls his rank and fails...
