I would think, Yes.
As the other said
1) It is a necessary input in a production environment
2) Meets the demand supply principles
3) Proper utilization mean better productivity

As the raw ingredient for Soylent Green? Perhaps not.
As necessary labor for some processes? Yes. But as part of the overall picture in terms of economy and the influence of the population on the environment.
Consider a necessary task in the production of Bananas as a crop. This crop can no longer be grown in the wild. This task is very difficult to do by automated methods, but is simple enough for many people to be taught the necessary steps to ensure that there are bananas in the future.
The humans who do this would be a resource.

Absolutely. Human labor, and in some cases slave labor, is the back on which our civilization was built.
