Actually, if labor is considered an line-item expense, it’s not just a recent practice. It’s an age old truism of business.

Reduce expenses, reduce expenses, reduce expenses … …

Labor/humans are the largest expense a company has.

Yes, but you used to have to depend on a fairly local or at least national market. That meant employees had to be able to buy what they produced. Cheap transportation and global markets means we can become a 3rd world country and companies can still just sell the stuff elsewhere. For now anyway.
