American Productivity


In honor of Labor Day, let's hear it for the American worker. Fox News reports:

"The average U.S. worker produces $63,885 of wealth per year, more than their counterparts in all other countries, the International Labor Organization said in its report. Ireland comes in second at $55,986, followed by Luxembourg at $55,641, Belgium at $55,235 and France at $54,609."

Something to ponder, What is it about our society and culture that makes us want to work so hard?
