13. Which makes this a kinda fun meme...
Edited on Tue Sep-04-07 07:05 AM by skids
...I know in some sectors productivity is through the roof. People who who normally be fuckoffs are working like frightened idiots to keep their jobs. However, you're right in that the aggregate GDP growth is not saying what this article or the U.N. report thinks it says, unless they found a way to account for both the offshoring and the "storm damage raises the GDP" problem.

But if the average American gets ahold of it they'll not know this and get resentful and start voting pro-union. So there may come pressure to get the GDP stats back to reality.

A little hoisting on ones own petard.
