Productivity grew 85% between 1979 and 2019. Worker pay grew 13%. The math isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. They never figured out how to measure what knowledge workers actually produce. Turns out that was more profitable than solving it.

But what happens when the work gets automated and offshored, but nobody gives you the time back? How American’s are coping with the new 4 hour work day?

The last time the American economy genuinely created additional wealth for the average American was post-World War 2.

That window of time only lasted about 30 years. 

Ever since, there has been a slow dismantling of that infrastructure while telling people the problem is their spending habits, or that they need additional income with a gig or selling plasma.
