In the same way that taking the train to Santa Fe allows you two extra hours a day, the workforce is more effective if it is healthier. Even when the infrastructure is fairly crude and brutal (think UNMH ER on a Friday night) the fact that x people don't die or become crippled because it is there is x more people available to contribute to the economy. Not all of them will, in the same way that the hour on the Rail Runner doesn't necessarily lead in a straight line to a killer productivity app, but it creates a possibility where none existed before.
