Abraham Lincoln did not see the means by which one makes a living as a fixed condition. Context from the Civil War era supports this, with the shifts from slavery to wage labor and the move from agrarian to industrial societies reflecting changes in labor conditions.
Abraham Lincoln's views reflect that he did not consider the means by which one makes a living to be a fixed or absolute condition. He interpreted the Dred Scott decision and the Kansas-Nebraska Act as attempts to spread and normalize slavery, which was a form of forced labor. Abraham Lincoln however expected this divided system of 'half Slave and half Free' would evolve into an undivided entity, either completely in favor or completely against slavery - this implies a shift in the predominant type of labor within the country at that time.
Meantime, the end of slavery reflected that labor conditions were indeed variable. The transition from slavery to wage labor did not necessarily mean a better life for the former slaves, because while they were now compensated for their tasks, they were still largely kept in a cycle of economic dependence due to requirements of daily survival and the higher interest rates enforced by lenders under the crop-lien system.
Overall, from the context of the period of time following the Civil War, there was significant evolution and change in the conditions of work and how people made a living, the shift from rural agrarian societies to more urban industrial ones and the transition from slavery to wage labor. Thus, these shifts suggest that Lincoln did not believe that the way one makes a living is a permanent condition.

During the 1920s, the US economy was experiencing an euphoria stemming from the good performance of the United States as the leading supplier of manufacturing and food to European countries during the First World War.
This euphoria led banks to increase lending to the public, to increase consumption, and to companies to increase output.
However, by the end of the decade, the situation became unsustainable. Overproduction did not find enough consumer market and US consumers got indebted. The NY Stock broke in 1929, being the beginning of the Great Depression that would come in the 1930s.
