On: Americans are becoming less productive, and it's a risk to the economy

Subtle here how "the economy" is used to mean "profits for employers and their investors".

Also ironic that the 22yo profiled decided to quit and get his real estate license. As if that were a job never subject to bubbles and the whims of the financial markets.

I'm really not sure how it's measured, since both corporate profits and real GDP are up.

The war machine is counted in GDP, so war is good (for GDP).

But are the up enough?
