  14. Improved productivity doesn't mean increased demand... so since 3 employees can now do the work 5 were doing before they can lay-off a couple of people and still meet their demand. Great idea! depends upon how long those couple take to get work. remember the process will take a few years. the extra wages the others now earn will come round/be spent a lot faster than it does from the banks
