Business just “comes your way” spontaneously coming into existence all by itself. Wow.

Doesn't mean a thing, if they were previously spending the slack time "twiddling their thumbs". The workload wasn't there to fill all of the time before. As they get more business, that will no longer be the case. Before they could fill that slack time with no increase in costs. That would give more profits and the potential for increased wages. As it is, they will instead have to employ more people who will then also have slack time.
Nonsense armchair analysis here with no empirical evidence whatsoever.
