Why should productivity and wages be linked? That is an old idea of Marx[1] that was refuted more than 60 years ago. If many people can do the job, the price is low. Do something not many people can do, or has enormous demand.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Labor_theory_of_value" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Labor_theory_of_value</a>
