American's Need To Learn To Work Smarter

Working Hard or Hardly Working?

Turns out Americans are as lazy as ever, but at least we’re taking a step out of our slippers in the right direction.

That figure is still well below historical productivity standards of 2.1%. If Americans ever want to see the fruits of our labor pay off in higher salaries and stronger economic growth, we have to start boosting those numbers.

Either that, or your buddy Jim might make way for the new JimBot 9000. We hear that guy’s hilarious.
