Note that this is the share of total income going to "labor." It says nothing about whether the total payments to "labor" went up or down.
Remember, to the leftist, if the income of the "poor" is doubled, but the income of the "rich" is tripled, that's bad. The leftist is satisfied only when the income of the "rich" goes down, even if the income of the "poor" goes down as well.
