Have we just created a new socio-economic class

I watch a good amount of futuristic scifi kinda stuff and it’s common to have a class of people who mine, labor, toil and generally do stuff that I would choose to not do. I have a choice, but they don’t.

Apparently a lot of people feel that they no longer have a choice and they must put their health and that of their family at risk…in order to live their life.
