Doesn't higher output per an employee lead to a change for demand of that type of employee, lowering pay?

It always seemed to me the value an employee brings is the upper bound on pay (demand drops near 0 over that), but the pay is determined by supply and demand for that labor.

Yes, pretty much so.

> lowering pay?

Nope. Reality is way more complex than that.
