Is Growth Possible without People???

Is a rising stock market good for workers? Usually... EXCEPT for RIGHT NOW! 😱

Look at the Dow Jones vs. Employment from 1995-2019... 👀

It's like two snakes slithering in unison as the years roll by...

Which makes sense: If you want to grow your business, you usually need to hire people to grow it.

BUT now look at 2020 to Today: No more snakes, no more unison.

Just two ships passing in the night! 🚢 ⛴️

In other words: Big growth, just no more people driving it.

➡ So what's going on here? 🤔

1️⃣ Is this a momentary blip driven by all the AI craziness?

2️⃣ Or is this a new normal where companies can now grow revenue without growing payrolls?
