You bring up an interesting aside (Not related to growth prospects or productivity improvements per se)

By Marketcap: Facebook > Amazon > Walmart By FTE: Walmart(2.2 million) > Amazon (150K) > FB (10K)

I realize FB is not in the same business, but I wonder what view those picketing Walmart for unfair and unjust labor practices have of the 'new economy businesses' that are being valued higher yet employ fewer Americans. Do you protest the jobs that were never created ?

Sure. You can protest for a higher minimum wage.

There are companies in the world that don't employ any Americans at all! (I heard China has a lot of them.)
