> Is it making the average worker poorer?

Almost certainly, yes.

The economy is not a fixed pie, but unless it's the CEO driving the productivity gains of a company, there's no real reason to give them a more and more outsized share of the revenue. It could go to the workers, or the shareholders.




The economy is not a fixed pie but it's also not a source of unlimited riches.

All production is limited by rate of available energy and/or available extraction of material.

It is actually more accurate to say the economy is a fixed pie than it is to ludicrously say the economy is a source of infinite wealth.
