You'd be able to buy a car and a house with a retail job. Low skill jobs would pay more, and it wouldn't be because the government told those business owners they had to meet minimum plateaus. It would be because you'd have to pay more to attract workers.
Think back to the 50's and 60's. Was that all because the dollar was stronger? You had families built around working class / service jobs. You could work a trade job and not be a pariah to women.
Now.. we're almost at the threshold where this wont be an issue, automated everything. I don't really know how shit is gonna shake out. I am repulsed by the idea of 60-70% of the population being on government payroll to do nothing. Yet.. if there's so much less do to. It's not like you can force everyone to be entertaining or creative, or skilled labor. There's gonna be a lot of idle, angry people.
That's if we even get that far I suppose. 2030 agenda may be a part of 'their' solution. Owning nothing fits in line with preparing for a critical mass of unemployed. It'll be easier to rent / license them shit, every facet of society nickle and diming their weekly government gibs back to zero, on a global scale.

I'd imagine they'd do something, it just might not be great. It's almost too late for it to matter though with immigration and mega corps.
Realistically, we'll kneecap ourselves so the useless feel useful and we can import more consumers.
In a more ideal world, you'd get hobby stores everywhere.
