Kentay, that isn't exactly a stat you want to use to brag about how good things are currently.  That means companies are getting more production from less people.  From your link:

You failed to mention that productivity also boosts a corporation's competitiveness, and it nonetheless failed per previous post. Time for a different theory on production because prevailing Republican theory is one big fat FAIL.

1.  It is kentay's article.  Nothing is ailed to be mentioned when it is linked.


2.  Of course, dembot, when you increase profit with fewer workers you also increase competitiveness.  You did notice that both articles came out at the same time, right?
