I disagree with this statement. When I was in high school we were reading at one point books from a particular time and one thing that the teacher told us was that the main character was always rich because that was the only way for them to be able to be really free. A job was viewed as a constraint, so the necessity for a job would also be a constraint.
In the case of the current supernatural frenzy the constant elements seem to be a long life and better health along side with all the good guys being (or becoming throughout the story) very accepting of those that are different from them.
