Its evident that under the capitalist system the wages of the workman can never rise enough to put an end to the exploitation of their labor. As a result, the proletarians are being demoralized in a way that their earnings could never get them ahead in life. They also find themselves working like machines and still not being successful enough to live a decent life. .
Proletarians are reduced to giving their labor and also being treated like machines. Sinclair explains how Jurgis starts to take notice the speed and power of man as if they were some kind of robot. "You might easily pick out these pacemakers, for they work under the eye of the bosses and they worked like men possessed "(61). The work required no skill; workers were not able to think anymore they were like programmed machines put to finish what they had to do. Some conformed to the jobs they luckily found. They had to keep up with the pace or they could easily be replaced by many desperate unemployed individuals, who according to Sinclair "all day long the gates of the packing houses were besieged by starving and penniless men; they came, literally, by the thousands every single morning, fighting with each other for a chance for life"(82). Capitalist become selfish living on the proletarians investment, having all these people at their disposal and working for them makes them not care for others, those who would wait in lines to earn an income to survive. Bourgeoisie's egoism is a problem to Marx. He believes that money causes humans to be treated as things of value and not moral beings. When work is taken from the people and instead receive money for their efforts, they become in Marx's words "alienated" from our labor. But workers don't realize how they are being treated because of the necessity of an income. The necessity makes them work in any conditions to provide the family and survive in the world. .
