Historically, societies have seen massive shifts in labor due to technological advancements. In Sweden, for example, the forestry industry employed 200,000 people in the 1950s, but rapid innovation and machinery reduced that number drastically over the decades, reflecting a trend occurring across various sectors. Productivity has skyrocketed, with Sweden’s own productivity increasing twentyfold since the 19th century. What took 20 workers to produce can now be achieved by one single worker.
