In 1980 - there were 90M employees in the US. Now there's 151M.

Given that the US has transitioned out of manufacturing and into businesses services - I don't think much of this is explained by technology creating new jobs.

I think it's just explained by the workforce growing - and the shift in the US's role in the global economy.

workforce grows as more is goods and services are produced.

So the real question is - whether the ratio of different roles changed vs total population.
