What makes the economics of those jobs such that they represent working poverty in Japan whereas in the US they are economically mobile?

Deeply ingrained pattern of abuse by employers in Japan, offering a different basket of goods (principally social status) which is perceived to act as a compensating differential, compounded growth of US economy outrunning Japan (and Europe, etc) by a bit for decades, etc.
