I'd be surprised if we aren't well past that threshold nowadays with modern automation.
In the agricultural sector at least, one person driving a combine harvester does the work of a dozen.
The trick is to make sure the resources they harvest get distributed instead of them just being twelve times more wealthy than their ancestors.

- mensetmanusman 3y agoThere are more people behind the scenes driving the trucks, fixing the machines that make the bits, etc. If those people retire the tractor becomes dead weight in 5-10 years.
