Actually Barack Obama has never held a real job in his life. His wife Michelle was the big shot as she was head of Legal Dept for a large hospital.

Part of problem is even poor people are far richer and have it easier than somewhat well off people of days gone by.

My "rich uncle" back in the 1960s had a cheesy split in the burbs, mowed his own lawn and had a 19 inch color TV with a whopping few channels and in the window airconditioner and he drove a 1969 Chevy Impala and his wife a 1967 Dodge.

Rest of us folk had a few kids, lived in apartments with no AC in Queens or Bronx etc, had one black and white tv with rabbit ears and no car.

Today my "rich" uncle would be laughed at. Kids dont know how to jump a car, change a tire, do minor home repairs, properly interact with adults, even know how to answer a phone and go to car washed, have their nails done, maids, lawnservice etc. And this is blue collar kids. New cars leased and Disney vacations. Even "jobs" they have are cushy.

I had a series of jobs in college, janitor, house painter, drove a bull dozer and worse one disposing hazmat stuff by redbagging them. Tons of dead cancer ridden cats, rats, rabbits, mice etc. Demeaning, hard dangerous jobs that made me appreciate school.
