I think they're implying that the majority of current working time isn't actually work, that those jobs could be done with 1/10th the current man hours and still be just as productive.

In that world you don't need to hire anyone else because all you've done is cut back all the bs idling time that we all know exists in many jobs while keeping output the same.

FWIW I'm not sure I agree on the 1/10th but like 1/3rd or 1/2 absolutely from my position.
