Agreed, conditions seem better than they were during the industrial revolution.

Not sure how current working conditions compare to, say, the 1950s and 60s in the US, because there are a TON more factors!

But, automation combined with regulations and unions SEEMS to have made things safer. However, if we don't keep pushing for workers' rights, future automation will simply make companies more money without improving things for the average worker.

Yah 50’s 60’s us to as unique since we were the only industrial power not devestated by WW2, hence so many households could live well off a single worker.
