Detailed explanation-1: -Those who had survived the plague began to enjoy higher standards of living as a result. While there was a significant improvement for many peasants, some sections of society did not benefit at all from the impact of the Black Death.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because of illness and death workers became exceedingly scarce, so even peasants felt the effects of the new rise in wages.
