Respectfully, that's bollocks.
There is a fundamental difference between a slave and someone who works a low pay job because they have to earn to eat. That being that the employer of the latter is subject to market forces because the low pay worker can get a low pay job somewhere else. Or even a higher pay job. Or he can Unionise. Or an education. He might not LIKE his choices, but he does HAVE choices.
Where as a slave, by definition, does not have those choices. They can't choose to leave and their owner can thus treat them however he likes within the law.
Society needs workers at all level, but a free man has upward mobility and choice. A slave does not.
