De-automation seems like it should be a thing. Reversing automation (cousin to insourcing/onshoring, but from Planet Automation not Asia).
Example: pour-over coffee. Others?

Umm how much of this is just demographics? Younger millennials entering workforce, increasing both supply and demand of regular service labor rather than deautomation? Needs something like a person-minutes-per order unit labor measure

Friends on Wall Street tell me almost all post-recession topline macroeconomic growth is explainable by demographics. Your buddies at WSJ oughta do a feature on that. Maybe they already have?

Weird mis attribution. Service sector has been growing since the 50s. It correlates with automation, not vice versa.

It is changes in rate that matter, since population has been growing overall. Big inflection point that shows up in the data is 1974 (factory automation impact most likely). I’d expect to see smaller ones ~1983 (Reaganomics) and 2001 (Millenial) citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/downlo
