Reich used the word "revolution" rather loosely. That's OK. It is not a full blown "social revolution" as you point out. But it's certainly not just a blip, nor a "V-shaped" recovery with everything back to normal after nearly 2 years.
On the other hand, how long does it take for social revolutions to unfold? Even "spontaneous" revolutions like the Russian Revolution in 1917 had an ongoing build up that lasted decades. It had a precipitating event (don't remember what it was) that lead to people taking to the streets, but that wasn't the root cause.
Could this change in the labor market be a sign of something deeper bubbling up, or the early beginnings of a social revolution (along with other signals)? Sure, it's at least worthy of consideration.
