Productivity Gains Do Not Create Jobs, Warn Experts
A study cited in the Wall Street Journal indicates total output per manhour rose from 100 in 1929 to 117.8 in 1988 while factory employment fell from 82 to 70, and total man-hours dropped sharply.

The piece notes rising efficiency has not yielded proportional employment gains, urging solutions to ensure welfare expands with productivity.
