You can bet total compensation is far lower. In 1973 people got benefits - including defined benefit retirement. Now. Ha.

companies used to cover all the family for health care...companies used to have huge Christmas parties or their workers or summer picnics....and they used to have defined pensions...

now, its the govt flakeys that get everything...
