But the USA is no longer in a period of industrialization...we've been a consumer service economy since the 1980s. Manufacturing jobs are virtually nonexistent, and though they are on the rebound, they still represent less than 10% of the American work force.

However, we still have a small number of people who make money using money (rather than wage-labour), which essentially dominates the gulf between capital-owners and capital-producers and is a primary focus of the protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement.
