Zero groath economy means young people would have to wait for an employee to
die or retire to get a job. Wages would be the same (except a slight
increase for inflation) since there is no groath. New industries cant come
up unless and old established one dies.

Maybe what you meant to say was a slow long term groath instead of 100%
increase in sales veery year.
