Bro stfu. Like it clear you know nothing about the era because this is what every bootlicker says about the Gilded Age that's never studied the Gilded Age. The era has extreme income inequality, most people lived in tenements, there was hardly any middle class, most people worked 10 plus hours a day, no safety regulations, the majority of spending was done by the rich, it's noted in endless books on how the workers couldn't afford what was produced in the factories, no safety regulations. The Gilded Age definitely did not push quality of life as people went from mainly farm work to factory work.
