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.

That’s what the poster said. One person producing more work than a person decades ago

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

Like the "Bullshit Jobs" phenomenon.
