Umm yeah. You point to an article that discusses the perceived productivity edge of America versus the rest of the world and doesn't, in the least, discuss the growing trend in US productivity, disregard the fact that the productivity gains over the last decade occurred during a period of full employment, and then claim that the gains in the last year are all due to forcing more out of the few still employed and it's me that doesn't make a persuasive argument. Do you have any concept of the fact that current unemployment levels are nowhere near bad? That historically full employment has been defined as being in the 5% unemployment range? Nevermind, I already know the answers.
