Yes, productivity increases account for part of the problem and so does globalization of the economy but we need to put people back to work. There is work that needs to be done - for example - repairing the infrastructure - roads, bridges etc.

New jobs being created are paying 13% less than those lost during the recession--$14.65/hour versus $16.92/hour. By contrast, new jobs created during the later years of the expansion, 1998 to 2000, paid 12% more.
