There is a very strong disconnect between the value created by the lower class though their labor and what they are paid in wages.

Companies don't use some formula where they give a percentage of what you create to you in return, they try to squeeze your wages down as low as possible. It doesn't matter if you produce 5000 bucks an hour or 100 bucks an hour in value for your company, they still want to pay you as little as possible.

Stuff like staff loyalty and retention has been to a large part abandoned in favor of simply keeping wages down.
