    Here they mean economic productivity though - gross product / # employees.

    It’s more industry based, but use of automation and machinery plays a big role too.

        Yeah, but maybe the issue is that people’s work doesn’t correspond to output.

        Like the “Bullshit Jobs” phenomenon.
