If you're a bourgeois economist, you'd say it's the productivity miracle. If you're tinted pink or red, you'd say you'd say capital is strong and labor is weak. In either case, almost all the gains of economic growth have gone to profits and the very upper crust of individuals (whose incomes are mostly returns to capital).
It's pretty funny that Goldman Sachs is worried about excessively rapid employment growth, since we're still about 10 million jobs below where we'd be in a "normal" recovery/expansion.
