The real value of a lot of products and services is more adjustable than your statement would lead someone to believe. Reality is absolutely not an efficient marketplace that immediately culls jobs and workers the moment a certain price of labor threshold is reached.

That is efficiency. We won't pay people to dig ditches when we have machines to do it. Efficiency is not the enemy, resource distribution is.
