"...and cut -everyone's- hours by 25%!"

Less hours, higher pay for more specialized workers.

Anyone can pick a tomato, but it takes training to run a harvester, it takes some training to weld a joint in a auto plant, it takes a great deal more training to run the programs, and maintain the production robots.

I don't know if it was on this thread, but I made mention of all the workers that lost their jobs assembling mechanical typewriters at the onset of the computer age, the response was "they got jobs assembling computers".

They did, and quite possibly at a higher pay.
