I think it's increasingly a myth that someone can work harder and just magically be in the upper middle class.

Agreed. You have to work smarter not harder if you want to earn more. Isolate a need and gain skills that are valuable to employers. Manufacturing is becoming more automated as the years go on. These jobs should not be counted on as a career. Just the way it is.
