Middle management isn't the only way people move up from the bottom quintile. I don't think middle management is the majority of any quintile, certainly it isn't the majority of the 2nd.

Also middle management has not disappeared. I work for a large company. There is a lot of middle management in many large companies. Maybe they kicked out half of them, but there is a big difference between half and none.


If qualifying for food stamps doesn't put you in the lowest quintile, then I don't know what it is. True, some stores have a high enough volume to make that untrue.


My manager made six figures. Assistant managers where paid very little (they could also do deliveries and make the tips from them, but if they weren't they where getting less than double minimum wage) , but most store managers earn between a decent and a very good living. They can even be in the top quintile.
