Jobs aren't different, the division of labor has just shifted. Labor becomes more automated and populations rise which leads to a labor surplus and security of capitalism. Also, the proletariat is by no means the majority of the working/laboring class. Even in 1917, the proles were a minority.
They're just the class with the most revolutionary potential, which has kinda shifted now because of universal education/literacy and the internet. Marx basically just saw that the proles were really good at self governance and formation of councils/unions which made them ideal for creating democratic replacement for the existing bourgeois state.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant but written better.
