    Simple. What “productive” entails has been evolving alongside tech advances.

    A person today is expected to handle more work within a week that people achieved in a month a couples decades ago.

      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.
