Some of the jobs created were specialized for white collar workers, jobs for accountants, clerical workers, and salespeople, paid a good amount of money to allow for individuals to gradually gain wealth and form part of the middle class, ultimately, expanding the middle class. As wealth increased in the nation so did the middle class with more business owners requiring more white collar workers.
