The change in output from adding one more worker is called marginal output. This works the same as marginal cost and marginal revenue. It is a measure of the effect that one more unit would have.

In theory, if adding one more worker increases output you could continue to add workers. If there comes a time when adding a new worker hurts productivity and output, you would NOT add the person.
