Depends on where you work. That’s one potential measure. It’s a shitty one though.
100x productivity boost? Then you must be working much less, and still making much more, right? Doesn’t even need to reach that 100x figure, even say half the work hours and 2-3x the pay or 1/4 the work hours for the same pay would be great.
Generally people choose to work the same hours even when their productivity goes up because the opportunity cost of not working an hour goes up too

100 x 0 == 0
I work less these days with a bump of productivity and I’ll be getting a sizable bump in salary eoy🤷♂️
Win win in my situation for the moment.
