How to use "Wage slave" in context?
The English word "wage slave" is derived from the ancient Roman slave, whose name literally means "servant of wages." In the early days of the Industrial Revolution, wage slaves were commoners who toiled long hours for little or no pay in the factories and mills that mushroomed across the British Isles. By the middle of the 19th century, the system of wage slavery had spread to the United States, where it played an important role in fueling the country's rapid economic development.
Today, wage slavery is a reality in many corners of the world, where workers are forced to toil long hours for little or no pay.
