"those caring for the elderly are notoriously low-paid jobs"

Not if they're working in a government facility and represented by a union. Those jobs, even janitorial workers in those facilities would be solidly middle class with excellent health care and a decent pension. Even in the private sector there's plenty of money for the executives, doctors and more skilled technical workers. It's only private sector, unskilled or very low skilled workers who's wages hover slightly above minimum wage.

Isn't that pretty much how all our industries are run now, absent any significant power in private sector organized labor?
