"You really think someone working a minimum wage job today is twice as productive as someone working the same job 30 years ago?" Probably. Look at a supermarket now and in 1980. The first thing you would see is far fewer employees. 30 years ago, everything had a price stamped on it. Now, nothing does. That greatly speeds stocking of shelves. In addition, the cash register systems tracks what is sold, greatly simplifying inventory control and reordering. In addition, there are fewer cashiers. In 1980, barcode scanners were rare, now they are ubiquitous. And there wasn't anything like self-checkout. Now they are pretty common. The whole system is a lot more efficient than it was back then.
