Not literally, no, but we could be working much less time, under much better conditions, and still realize much greater value from our labor. Most of the wealth created in society is claimed as profits, by a very small cohort of the population, who have not contributed the labor to generate the wealth.
If workers realized the full value of their labor, and production were organized, in terms of its material features and social relationships, toward supporting the basic needs and higher aspirations of the entire population, then I believe that the figures in the poster illustrate, crudely and comically, the vast degree by which our lives may be improved.
