That is interesting, Duncan!

The growth rate of productivity is higher. Hmm..

I suppose that this could be indicative of our higher starting point? Not sure.

My knee jerk reaction would be to say that we’ve already been growing it as fast as possible all along, and they have been weighed down by their nanny-state economics, so they should be growing in productivity quicker than us as they start to rethink and change some of those nanny-state policies.

But I’ll be the first to admit my ignorance of those facts, so I only put that up for people to shoot down.

Still interested in hearing the cost of employment in these states that demand things like required paid days off.. Any takers?
