jatki, once again you have an amazing grasp of the obvious. Yes, computers, and probably some other stuff, helped make workers way more productive from 1973 to 2013. But you know what, stuff like improved communications, transportation, etc., made workers over 100% more productive from 1948 to 2013 too.
But from 1948 to 1973, wages rose as productivity rose. But when productivity soared from 1973 to 2013, wages stalled. I don't think that's because of laziness, do you?
