Is it easy to measure a factory worker's productivity? It would seem surprising and interesting if every job's productivity is hard to measure except for one particular kind.

Any job where there's a definable output can be measured. Factory workers are one type.

Others might be farmers; if they're able to yield x tonnes of valid crops out of y acres.
