The definition of "Hard work" is relative to one's individual experience in life.
One thing I have seen over the years is a tendency for people to judge others (both favorably and unfavorably) in occupations and conditions they themselves have never experienced.
Some of the worst are managers and supervisors who have never engaged in the occupations they are overseeing, but people of every stripe somehow become "experts" concerning occupations they have never experienced. And, the greater the wealth of one who passes judgment, the less understanding there is.
As well with the working class, if someone has a larger wage rate than "I", then that person doesn't really earn his money and rather than aspire to "His" income, "I" will demand that he be brought down to "mine".
The old 19th century Robber Baron quote - "I can hire half the working class to kill the other half".
