Greed has always happened, but if you were a straight white man, wages were decent. At least to my understanding. So what happened?

Like there are memes about 'no body wants to work because we pay you 10$ an hour or some shit' But it's like why don't companies pay more? If it's greed that wouldn't make sense because greedy people in the past would have done the same thing.
