Ludicrous?
Only to the most extreme critics unable to tell the difference between some or many flaws in a system, and total failure. Most of us start on low income jobs and grow from there. That fact has not disappeared.

By “us” do you mean the American people?

If so, a more accurate statement would be “most of us start on low income jobs (if employed at all) and remain in low income jobs, with steadily-diminishing benefits, until retirement”.

The upwardly-mobile thing is a relatively small portion of the population.
