Unless you are German…

Americans beat the liederhosen off of Germans in terms of hours worked. We beat every other industrialized nation. We are also more productive, per-worker.

The problem is that profit has not trickled down to the worker. Productivity has raised 400% since the 1950s, but wages haven’t come anywhere close to matching that. The increase in productivity has not benefited the worker, either in shorter hours or increased pay.

Booo.
