What I find really interesting about 46566’s economy is the extremely low employment rate coupled with such a high average income and a low difference between highest and lowest incomes.

The only way I could explain that is lots and lots of automation, and a nice “basic income” guaranteed to all. It would be interesting to know who’s doing the work and what type of work that is. All those robots must need lots technicians, programmers, and operators. (Maybe those are all robots too. Hmmm.)
