Re:The labor share of income in the US is at its lowest post... by 9x39 on Tuesday June 30, 2026 @05:44PM (#48739629)
Automation isn't foreign to the topic. There's some discussion here that refrains from estimating too hard, but I think it's closer to outsourcing's effect:

Outsourcing and automation both reduce worker leverage, which reduces wages, which could explain reduced labor share. I'm not sure how one would weight it all.
