But overall employment has gone up since the 1980s, average wages have grown above inflation and the average worker is much better off than they were in the 1980s. Which would not have been the case if we hadn't had these sectoral shifts.

There was an influential Austrian economist called Schumpeter in the 1930s who said capitalism was 'creative destruction'. It's all about the search for new ideas, to find better ways of making things and doing things, which make the old ways of making things and doing things obsolete. Some people will make this out to be a sign of society going backwards but its why living standards improve. It's also why the old predictions of Malthus, that the world would never be able to feed itself as the population grew because there wouldn't be enough to go round so starvation would bring the population back down, ended up being false.

I worked for 3 months at Mersey White Lead in the mid-seventies through a student summer break (probably 1974). It was one of the few places in town that didn't have a works cat......because nothing could live there. The conditions were awful, almost victorian. You were given two free pints of milk each day to keep the lead content in your body down. I don't suppose it worked as the works apparently had very few pensioners. You also had to have a blood test every couple of months. I was on a whole 57p an hour.
