RB, that's just wrong. The story of increasing productivity (which is pretty much an imperative in capitalism) is the story of increasing specialization - which in turn means nonfungibility of labor. Unskilled labor commands low wages for a reason, precisely because the lower the skill level the greater the fungibility.
