Generally speaking increased worker productivity has lead to increased working hours, people today work more hours, now must be available at all hours, are being coerced into skipping legally mandated lunch breaks, into jobs with significantly worse conditions (because they can get away with it), in exchange for significantly less pay when you take into account the cost of living (yes inflation is technically stable but that doesn't matter for the average person, cost of living does).

    I wouldn't say that increased pay productivity has led to those things. They've coincided, certainly.
