In which world they aren't? Like if you have the option of working throwing paint onto a pice of cloth or taping bananas to walls would you chose to work with literal human shit to your knees and your elbows??
Also see my other comment, only 8% of artist (in the UK) are working class against A FUCKING 100% plumbers being working class.
I'd believe it if up to 0.6% of artists made millions off a single low effort 'artwork'. What is even being considered an artist here? Paint? Movie/Game? Strictly one-off millionaires? What is working class here too? Working at all or within a specific income range?
I worked industrial steel up until I got injured and in the early apprenticeship phase plumbers I knew that were working about as long as I had were making more than me, but we were all well above grocery store clerk earnings.
