bloody Golgafrinchansi say the ease with which society is dealing out backhanded slaps to anyone who is seen to be a 'chav' (in this case, low earners, in which a huge category of people are swept), is another symptom of rising right wing sentiment amongst not just the disenfranchised working classs, but indeed amongst for comfortable middle classes.
it'll all end in tears, :(
edit: though for what it is worth, the factory workers at my last job earned more than the design office staff, and indeed most office workers short of the execs.

usually because they put in ridiculous hoursI know back when I was a young'un temping at factories through long night shifts was an easy way to get rich quick (comparatively).
But the normal pay was still shit and the jobs never lasted

it varies i suppose.the chaps working int he factory at Maclaren are clearly highly trained individuals with massive skills, and are doubtlessly paid accordingly. depends on what the factory is!
ours made cardboard boxes. :)
you're bob on though - the path to higher earnings was the night shift+ overtime. 100% on top of basic pay night bonus, plus double time on top for overtime.
some of the team leaders were higher rate tax payers.
