I'm glad I could show you the truth about our rising industrial production.
While at the same time industrial employment continues its multi-year decline.
Yes, rising production with fewer workers is called higher productivity. In 1900, half the workforce were farmers. Now, only 2% are farmers and we produce more food than ever. I guess you'll explain how that's a bad thing?

I know in India, it is preferred to keeping 100 men employed, even if they have to use shovels instead of using 2 men and a steam shovel and leaving 98 unemployed. I know to some, it may not be the best thing but I do remember my grandmother saying, "idle hands are the Devil's work," so I do see the good that come from employing 100 men. I know you might not agree with me but I'd rather take that route and have as many hands working instead of them falling to the influences of the Devil.
