I guess that's what I'm getting at. these trends dont come from nowhere. we should see evidence of them already. genuinely asking if anyone has studied these trends bc I'm curious.
They have been saying this since the industrial revolution. New jobs are created as old ones disappear. It is based on the notion that there is only so much work to do, which is wrong.
yep. because people always want more, better, faster, cheaper there is always more work to be done.
If we look at employment to population ratio more people were being employed until ~2000. It’s decreased since then
The rise is likely women entering the workforce. Idk about the down turn.
If we say unemployment rate is the average number of people who cant work, it’s been nearly constant at 6% for 125 years.
