Exactly: A single worker can perform a great variety of "jobs" for their employer but a robot typically only does one thing. If you replace a human's job with three robots it would throw these statistics way off.

Not only that but a bunch of robots could be enhancing or expanding a human's productivity. So a single person could be performing the work of five by using the assistance of robots.
