In 1980 - there were 90M employees in the US. Now there's 151M.
Given that the US has transitioned out of manufacturing and into businesses services - I don't think much of this is explained by technology creating new jobs.
I think it's just explained by the workforce growing - and the shift in the US's role in the global economy.
